Roger Clemens responded to President Donald Trump’s push for the New York Yankees great to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Trump wrote in a post on social media on Sunday, saying there was "no evidence" that Clemens was a steroid cheat and that the issue must not wait to be solved once the two-time World Series champion dies as he compared the situation to Pete Rose.

Clemens wrote on X that he had a great time golfing with the president and his son, Kacy.

"I appreciate the love! DT knows more than anyone the fake news that’s out there," Clemens wrote. "Everyone has their agendas… I played the game to change my family’s direction generationally and to WIN!"

Trump demanded that Clemens be elected into the Hall of Fame "NOW."

"I played Golf yesterday with the Great Roger Clemens and his son, Kacy. Roger Clemens was easily one of the few Greatest Pitchers of All Time, winning 354 Games, the Cy Young Award seven times (A Record, by a lot!), and played in six World Series, winning two!" Trump wrote. "He was second to Nolan Ryan in most strike-outs, and he should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, NOW! People think he took drugs, but nothing was proven. He never tested positive, and Roger, from the very beginning, totally denies it. He was just as great before those erroneous charges were leveled at him. That rumor has gone on for years, and there has been no evidence whatsoever that he was a ‘druggie.’
