Donald Trump stunned his audience at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina Friday night, taking a bizarre turn to speak his mind about the New York Jets’ latest NFL game.
The 45th president took the stage at a Save America meeting ahead of the midterm elections, discussing everything to do with immigration, crime, the 2020 election — and, oddly enough, the New York Jets’ victory over the Cleveland. Browns last Sunday.
“The Jets game last week,…so there’s about a minute and 37 seconds left, they’re 13 points behind and they played a tough game, and they don’t even have the ball,” Trump began blankly to spectators. pending the relevance of Week 2’s win in New York.
“I think the odds of them winning were one-hundredth of a percent, and nobody would take the bet.
“They got kind of a fumble, they threw a long pass that was caught, they got to seven… and then they got an onside kick, which lasted about a minute and a quarter.
“They got… they got an onside kick, and they went for a touchdown and they won the game, because the other field goal kicker missed a field goal sometime during the game, and they got the 14 points they needed.

“They needed 14 points, they got 14 points in a minute and 12 seconds, it was the craziest thing.”
Perhaps more extraordinary than the comeback itself, Trump actually spoke to head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas after Gang Green’s first win of the 2022 NFL season.
As always, the 45th president had a bold claim, though this time in the sports field.
‘I called the coach’ [Robert Saleh] because I think the coach is a great guy, so is the general manager… I said, “Coach, you’re bigger than Vince Lombardi, because Vince Lombardi never did, he was never able to pull out a match like that … because that was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.” The game was over, it was over.’

Trump’s reference to the Jets may not make sense at first glance, but his longtime friend and franchise owner, Woody Johnson, was in attendance.
New York trailed the Browns 30-17 with less than 90 seconds left before a touchdown to AJ Brown brought them within one possession.
The Jets won the next onside kick before rookie Garrett Wilson caught a touchdown with 22 seconds left.
