Meat Loaf was a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice back in 2011. During one episode Trump asks Meat Loaf if he thinks he should run for president. Trump starts with, “everybody is saying I should run for president.”

“Let me ask you a question, Meat Loaf, should I run for president?” Trump asked. “Absolutely,” Meat Loaf answered.

“Now, you would definitely vote for me?” Trump asked. “I would vote for you. In fact, I’ll help you with your campaign,” Meat Loaf replied.

At one point, however, Meat Loaf seemed to change his mind. Trump confronted the singer about his change of heart but the pair it appears remained friends.

Meat Loaf had many hits and played roles in movies such as “Fight Club” and “Wayne’s World”. In total Meat Loaf appeared in 65 different films.

As Trump said in his statement, “Meat Loaf will be greatly missed!”
