- Trump marvels at Aaron Judge's forearms, says Yankees game was like 'old times'
Appearing on "Fox & Friends," President Donald Trump discussed his visit to Yankee Stadium for the anniversary of 9/11 on Thursday, including his thoughts on Yankees star Aaron Judge , who has the "biggest forearms" Trump has ever seen.
Trump took pictures in the Yankees' clubhouse and addressed the team before the game, marveling at how big and muscular the 6-foot-7 Judge was in person, something he reiterated the morning after.

"(Judge) is some strong guy. He had the biggest forearms – you know I've seen weightlifters – I've never seen arms this big," Trump told the Fox News hosts. "And he's a fantastic person."
Judge, the two-time AL MVP winner, hit two home runs in the Yankees' 9-3 win over the Detroit Tigers in the Bronx.
"The fans were really nice," Trump joked Friday. "You never know what you're going to get in a New York ballpark."
Trump, who was friends with late owner George Steinbrenner, said attending the game was like "old times" and that the Steinbrenner family "has been fantastic with me."
