Trump mocked after he 'made up an entire conversation' about Patrick Mahomes and Tommy Tuberville
President Donald Trump was mocked on Wednesday for claiming Senator Tommy Tuberville did "a great job" as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes's college coach.
Tuberville, who served as Auburn University's head football coach from 1999-2008, never coached Mahomes.
The president made the remark during his signing of an executive order excluding transgender women from women's sports Wednesday.

Ben Ross, a sports reporter for San Francisco's KRON-TV, reported Trump commented: "I said, ''How good was he?' He said, 'You don't want to know how good. He made me into a great coach.'"
Ross, in his own words, added: "Lmao just made up an entire conversation about a quarterback Tuberville never coached. Tuberville was at Texas Tech from 2010-12, Mahomes was there 2014-16."
