"I am greatly honored to receive Sarah's endorsement. She is a friend, and a high quality person whom I have great respect for," the GOP frontrunner said in a statement. "I am proud to have her support."
Trump's press release goes on to call Palin's endorsement “amongst the most sought after and influential amongst Republicans," claiming she has "helped launch the careers" of "several key future leaders" such as...Ted Cruz.
Interesting, because in a tweet sent the very same day, Trump said of Cruz, "Wow, the highly respected Governor of Iowa just stated that 'Ted Cruz must be defeated.' Big shocker! People do not like Ted."
