President Donald Trump on Saturday sent a congratulatory tweet to Nick Bosa, chosen on Thursday as the NFL’s No. 2 draft pick for the year, urging the player, a Trump supporter who’s been accused of racist social media posts, to “stay true” to himself.

Trump told Bosa, a former defensive end from Ohio State University, that San Francisco -- one of the most liberal cities on the U.S. -- “will embrace you.”
