“The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy,” he continued, according to Politico. “And I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out!”
The Gridiron Dinner made its return Sunday after having been canceled for two years due to the pandemic.
