Rand Paul Plays April Fools' Prank Regarding 'YUGE' Endorsement

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Friday he was playing an April Fools' Day prank when he hinted at making a "YUGE" endorsement, likely referring to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Paul posted a series of messages on Twitter Thursday, teasing his "major endorsement announcement."

Friday morning, however, Paul Tweeted he was being an April 1 jokester.

Paul's Friday post:

Yes Twitter, I am just celebrating #AprilFools #endorsingentropy.

Paul posted these messages Thursday:

I have a major endorsement announcement to make tomorrow. Stay tuned...

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) March 31, 2016

The announcement is going to be YUGE. Don't miss it...

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) March 31, 2016

Wow, many many people tell me the announcement is the best announcement anyone has ever seen. So much winning...

Paul was having a little fun at Trump's expense, who is known for pronouncing the word "huge" as sounding like "yuge."

Paul joined the presidential race last April, but suspended his campaign after a poor showing in the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses.

He said in late February he would support the GOP nominee for president, but would not officially endorse anyone.
