The tweet, which comes one day before Indianans go to the polls in a crucial primary contest, included a video of Holtz, where he said, he "wholeheartedly" endorses Trump.

"There are nothing but winners in Indiana," Holt said in the video. "The main reason I'm endorsing him: I have played his golf course and stayed in his hotel. He does nothing but go first class on everything. He wants his country to be first class as well."
