Trump was in Arkansas on Thursday to speak at the Economics Arkansas luncheon. According to arkansasbusiness.com, Trump talked about Rodriguez, a three-time AL MVP who has been criticized for his perceived inability to come through in important situations. "He always plays bad under pressure," Trump was quoted as saying. "Derek Jeter, he's the greatest. People love Derek Jeter. Are those cameras on? This is going to get broadcast back home. Oh, now he'll leave my building." A company controlled by a corporation controlled by Rodriguez bought an apartment at Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan for $7.4 million in July 2005. Jeter bought an apartment in Trump World Tower, another Manhattan building, in 2001. Trump also talked about another famous sports figure -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. "Tom Brady is a friend of mine. I walk into a room with him and people go wild. Of course, I think it's because of me. It's good for my ego," Trump was quoted as saying. "But he's with (girlfriend) Gisele (Bundchen), and probably many others. But that's a guy who never gave up."
