Celebs And Billionaires That Supported Trump For President
#37. Mariano Rivera
Rivera responded to the Daily Beast piece, defending his support of Trump on the Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends.”
Rivera talked about his devout Christianity that was strengthened by his belief that prayer saved his unborn son who was expected to die after his pregnant wife contracted chicken pox before answering questions about his support of Trump.
He told the “Fox & Friends” panel that he was friends with Trump before he became president and continues to maintain that friendship.
"Mr. President Trump — he was a friend of mine before he became president," Rivera said. "So, because he's president I will turn my back on him? No.”
