— Jon Husted, who was a Great Football Player in College, had Record Setting numbers of interceptions. In fact, he was known as “Interception Jon.” I found out when Jon Gruden spoke at our first Ohio Rally. Jon Husted is a Republican junior U.S. Senator from Ohio, appointed in January 2025 to fill the seat vacated by Vice President JD Vance.

Before his political career, Husted was an All-American defensive back at the University of Dayton. He is currently running to retain his seat in the 2026 special election. Jon Husted, who was a Great Football Player in College, had Record Setting numbers of interceptions. In fact, he was known as “Interception Jon.” I found out when Jon Gruden spoke at our first Ohio Rally.

I asked the Coach, “Why are you here Jon?” He said, “I’m here to support my teammate for Senator of Ohio,” and I said, “What do you mean, teammate, did Jon Husted play football?” And Jon Gruden said, “Yeah, we had a great team, and he was the best player, by far. He played safety, and he had 17 interceptions, A RECORD!” I said, “Wow, I didn’t know that about Jon.” He said, “Yep, he was a great player, but because of the man he is, HUMBLE, he doesn’t go around talking about it like everyone else would have.” Such a great story! OHIO, VOTE FOR JON HUSTED FOR THE U.S.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
