Maine Gov. Paul LePage is endorsing GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, touting the real estate billionaire's business acumen as a deal-maker.

"He's a businessman. I'm a businessman," LePage said on "The Howie Carr Show." 

"I think he could be one of the greatest presidents if he sits down and puts together a good team."

ABC affiliate WMTW posted audio of the declaration. 

LePage previously supported New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who's dropped out.

"I was Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular," LePage said. "So I think I should support him since we're one of the same cloth."
