Mike Ditka made it known earlier this week to the Chicago Sun-Times that he’s behind Donald Trump and his run for president.
The former Bears coach reiterated his position again Thursday during his radio show on ESPN:
I like him. A lot, because I think he is exactly what this country needs. We don’t need what we have now. There is absolutely zero leadership in the White House right now. I’m kind of maybe old-fashioned. I think somebody who runs this country has to be the real deal. And I’m looking for the real deal right now. And I am hoping that Donald is that. I don’t know. I know what we have isn’t. And I don’t know if we’ve had it for a long time. I’m looking for another Ronnie Reagan, man.
