Overview

• After golfing with Roger and Kacy Clemens, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Clemens should be inducted into the Hall of Fame "NOW."
• Trump argued Clemens never tested positive for PEDs and compared his case to Pete Rose, whose MLB ineligibility was lifted by Commissioner Rob Manfred earlier this year.
• Roger Clemens acknowledged the support by sharing Trump’s post and thanking him publicly.
• Clemens was named in the 2007 Mitchell Report yet was acquitted in 2012 of charges that he lied to Congress, and he has consistently denied using steroids.
• Clemens failed to reach the 75% BBWAA threshold during 2013–2022 and later fell short with a veterans committee, with any future induction dependent on Hall committees rather than MLB or the president.
