Donald Trump continues to gain over his opponents in a variety of polls as he works to secure the Republican nomination for president, and now it seems he has found one more fan - Dennis Rodman.
Rodman took to Twitter on Friday and wrote; '@realdonaldtrump has been a great friend for many years. We don't need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016.'
Trump seemed to genuinely appreciate the endorsement as well, writing back to Rodman; 'Thank you @DennisRodman. It's time to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain! I hope you are doing well!'
The exchange comes as a bit of a surprise as Rodman is infamously friends with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
Trump on the other hand, like most other Americans, does not support the tyrannical dictator, though he did call Rodman's trip to the country 'smart' in one interview.
In that 2013 same interview, during which he was promoting the latest season of The Apprentice on which Rodman appeared, Trump also took a dig at the president saying Rodman going to North Korea was 'a lot better than what we have' with President Obama.
Trump was singing a far different tune however a year later when Rodman spoke of the mogul possibly going to NBorth Korea with him, writing on Twitter; 'Dennis Rodman was either drunk or on drugs (delusional) when he said I wanted to go to North Korea with him. Glad I fired him on Apprentice!'

Trump’s Secretary of State! Go Rodman!
The Democrats will do anything to destroy Trump. I wonder how much the DNC is paying Rodman?
Now there is some high cotton
Is that racist ?
NO! DT: Sleep with dogs and (you know the rest).
Or maybe Secretary of the Defense, since he was NBA Defensive Player of the Year, two years in a row.
You Trumpites are hilarious!
I’m reminded when the KKK clown that tried to run for president, dropped out and endorsed Bush (I believe it was Bush).
Gosh did folk’s hearts go aflutter over that.
Candidates can’t help who backs them.
You term(itess) against Trump are too.
Who cares? Donald has had a lot of celebrities on his show over the past what 12 years? People are grasping at straws. And, no one cared that BO associated with Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, the leader of the Nation of Islam - Farrakan, and the list goes on and on.
Crazy people, not institutionalized, can vote. Is Alan Grayson for Hillary or Bernie?
Man, talk about the kiss of death!
And the difference is, Trump won’t listen to Rodman on policy. Obama does listen to those people.
That headline goes beyond guilt by association to somewhere in the stratosphere.
That should be the politicians, as politicians from both parties want to destroy him.
I think that was the plan alright.
It appears that Trump found his hero after all!
