33. Trump Mistakenly Says Republican Tommy Tuberville Coached Patrick Mahomes

Trump once again proves what in idiot he is... Oh, and either he or Tuberville (or both) lied about it too.

At a recent signing ceremony for an executive order on transgender athletes, Donald Trump mistakenly said Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville coached Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in college.

"A great coach. You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes. He was a great college coach," Trump said. "And I said, 'How good was he?' He continued, 'You don't wanna know how good. He made me into a great coach.' He's a pretty good quarterback, right? Yeah, he was very good. And he's a good guy, too."

However, Mahomes and Tuberville never crossed paths. Tuberville coached at Texas Tech from 2010 to 2012 before leaving for the University of Cincinnati. Mahomes didn't arrive at Texas Tech until 2014, where he played under head coach Kliff Kingsbury before being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017.

Tuberville previously claimed that he played a role in recruiting Mahomes to Texas Tech. However, a fact-check by the Cover 3 College Football Podcast debunked this, noting that Texas Tech's recruitment focus was on another quarterback, D.J. Gillen, until Gillen's de-commitment led the program to Mahomes—a month after Tuberville had already departed for Cincinnati.
