Donald Trump wants to invite a few of his most famous friends from the world of sports to speak at the Republican National Convention.

Trump said at a rally Friday that he wants the event to be a "a little different," adding that he's "thinking about getting some of the great sports people who like me a lot," according to The New York Times' Nick Corasaniti.

Among the names the presumptive Republican presidential nominee trumpeted as supporters were NFL stars Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger, NASCAR chief Brian France, and UFC president Dana White.

"These are champions," Trump said of his list of friends.

Trump added, "Our country needs to see winners. We don’t see winners anymore. We have a bunch of clowns running this country. We have people who don’t know what the hell they're doing running our country."
