“I’ve been in the fight business my whole life, and I know Donald Trump is a great fighter,” Trump told the crowd at the convention Tuesday. “And he would fight for this country.”
Gulbis, who appeared on Trump’s reality show, "The Celebrity Apprentice", praised the Republican presidential nominee for encouraging her to push back against unfair business practices she might face as a woman.
“(He) offered me a simple idea that changed my life forever,” Gulbis told the convention. “Never fear challenging the status quo. He encouraged me to think of myself not as a female athlete, but a businessperson. In everything you do, be fearless, he reminded me. Be fearless.”
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is also part of a long list of sports figures and personalities to endorse Trump.
