The famous MyPillow guy, Mike Lindell, has said that Donald Trump is the best president ever “and he hasn’t even gotten started,”
The Washington Times reported.
The self-made millionaire happened to be on the main floor of the Trump International Hotel this week, mere blocks away from the White House, and was taking time out to meet a gathering crowd of his own fans and address local press when he declared his support for the U.S. president.
“I met Donald Trump in August of 2016. I had a private meeting with him,” the MyPillow inventor told The Washington Times. “After that, I was all in. He has not let me down. He is the best president this country has ever had. And he hasn’t even gotten started. It’s going to be amazing, and I say that with all my heart. It’s going to be awesome.”
Lindell was in town to attend the recent “Made in America” summit at the White House as well as the Christians United for Israel Summit.
The entrepreneur has become an iconic figure and it is partly because of his motivational rags-to-riches story.
It all began in 2004 in his hometown in Chaska, Minnesota, when he created the MyPillow empire while addicted to drugs, CNBC noted.
He had explored numerous business ventures in an attempt to make money but none really took off, until he had a dream about a pillow that could hold its shape.
“I got up in the middle of the night — it was about 2 in the morning — and I had 'MyPillow' written everywhere in the kitchen and all over the house,” he told CNBC.
Convinced that the dream was a message from God, Lindell dove into the project and soon the business was flourishing.
He also managed to get sober and while it has not always been smooth sailing, such as when the company’s Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation was revoked last year, Lindell’s story has inspired a nation.
He also happens to be rather friendly with Trump, and has won the president’s support, which doesn't hurt.
“The president shook my hand and told me, ‘You are doing a great job, Michael.’ He also said he is sleeping great on his MyPillow,” Lindell recently told the New York Daily News. “I told him, ‘People come up to me all the time to tell me what a great job you are doing and that you are in their prayers.'"
