Donald Trump may want to refresh his Texas Tech Football knowledge after a blunder he made in the White House.
On Wednesday, the president surrounded himself with female athletes and activists while putting pen on paper about an executive order that forbade transgender athletes to participate in women's sports.
While he spoke to the public, the 78-year-old, however, made a mess when he wrongly claimed that the Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had coached.
Tuberville wrote a bill for the Senate to codify entitled 'Men Out of Women's Sports' in the Codifying Act and was present at the signing ceremony.
Trump grabbed the opportunity to shine the spotlight at Tuberville while praising the contributors from the account and emphasized the history of the Senator as a university football coach.
'Tommy Tuberville, a great coach. You know, his quarterback was called Mahomes, “said Trump.
