Dennis Rodman endorsed Donald Trump for president on Twitter Friday, adding that Trump has been a great friend of his for many years.
@realDonaldTrump has been a great friend for many years. We don't need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016

Rodman was on Trump’s show “The Celebrity Apprentice” back in 2013, but was fired after he spelled Trump’s wife Melania’s name wrong during a challenge.
Trump didn’t respond when asked for comment on the endorsement.
Rodman also added that his followers should stand by Hulk Hogan, who was fired by the WWE Friday after he was caught on tape calling his daughter’s boyfriend the N-word. He said he’s known Hogan for nearly 30 years, and that he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.
Lets lend our support to the Hulkster @HulkHogan who most certainly is not a racist @Scottiepippen @MagicJohnson @Shaq @MikeTyson

I've known @HulkHogan for 25 years. Here he is hanging with Kylin in NJ. There isn't a racist bone in that mans body. http://t.co/QnT9rmrpVe
