Summary
President Donald Trump received a letter from the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in 1989, urging him to run for office. The letter was written at Steinbrenner’s office in Tampa, Florida, and praised Trump’s performance on a TV show. Trump has spoken fondly of Steinbrenner, calling him “the boss” and saying he knew how to win. Trump has also appeared at a Yankees game and met with current team owner Hal Steinbrenner and team president Randy Levine.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Trump gets a letter from Steinbrenner, and suddenly he’s thinking about running for office. It’s like we’ve seen before.
Steinbrenner’s words of encouragement, Trump’s desire to win, and the Yankees’ success – it’s a familiar mix.
But it’s not like Trump needed Steinbrenner’s urging to get into politics. He’s been doing that for years.
This one felt recognizable early.
