Former President Trump responds, saying he's been investigated more than Al Capone. Credit: Joe Rogan Experience EXCLUSIVE: The New York Yankees are back in the World Series, and Donald Trump is barreling toward the finish line of his third presidential campaign.
And somewhere out there, George Steinbrenner might be watching with a vested interest. The late Yankees owner, known for his brash, unfiltered communication style and firing employees with ease, served as a role model to the former president during Trump's ascent as a New York City businessman.
Trump watched Steinbrenner during Yankees games to observe his behavior. Multiple people close to Trump have said he and Steinbrenner were close friends.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers star Steve Garvey met both of them in the 1980s, during the early years of Ronald Reagan's presidency.
