ExtremeRavens Posted yesterday at 04:01 PM Posted yesterday at 04:01 PM On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump weighed in on the firing of longtime Ravens coach John Harbaugh. “HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST,” the president wrote via his social media platform, Truth Social. “HE AND HIS BROTHER ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!” Trump signed off the post “President DJT,” which insinuates he wrote the post rather than a staff member who helps run his social media accounts. The post came unsurprisingly, considering Trump’s propensity to support those who return the favor (last summer, he told an Atlanta crowd, “I only like people who like me”). Still, Trump is right about the expectation that the recently fired Harbaugh could be hired quickly. ESPN reported there were teams lining up to call his agent within an hour of Tuesday night’s news.

John and his brother Jim, who coaches the Los Angeles Chargers, visited Trump’s White House in mid-July. When John was asked about it, he called the experience “awesome” and promised to “root for our President.” He said, “I want our President to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful, and I want my team to be successful.” Jim told local reporters, “I mean, who gets invited to the White House with eight other family members and doesn’t go? Nobody.” John hasn’t shied away from addressing the divisive president in recent years. After one August practice in 2015, Harbaugh backed one of the Trump campaign’s main talking points: the idea to build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. “I’m going Trump here,” Harbaugh said, pledging his support. Two years later, Harbaugh stood by his players who chose to kneel during the national anthem before a game in London. Trump said earlier that year he believed any player who participated in the silent protest should be fired while Harbaugh called it “a really good thing.” Neither John nor Jim publicly endorsed a presidential candidate in 2024. Both also made separate visits to the White House during President Barack Obama’s second term. Add the sitting president to the list of people voicing their support for Harbaugh in the aftermath of a significant organizational decision in Baltimore. Have a news tip?
