Trump to Clemson: ‘You Chased Greatness and Now You Achieved True Greatness’

‘That victory and the great comeback was the product of a vision that began nine years ago when coach Sweeney assembled a team of assistant coaches who believed in his vision’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Under the coach’s leadership, he helped forge a new culture at Clemson. It was on display in the locker room right after the big game. The coach recalled how he told the team that the theme of the college football playoffs this year is 'chasing greatness.' He told them, 'Nobody is better than us. We’ve got to believe it.' That's great. Tell yourself that. 'Nobody is better.' You chased greatness and now you've achieved true greatness. I understand that on the inside of your championship ring there’s a tiger climbing upwards and it says 'little extra.' That’s often the difference between winning and losing, just a little extra, right, coach?"
