House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) hit the links Tuesday with real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump, Politico reported.

The two played a round at Trump’s own golf course in Bedminster, N.J. as Boehner embarks on a month-long, cross-country fundraising blitz for Republican candidates.

Trump has demonstrated himself to be a fan of the speaker. As Politico noted, he donated $100,000 to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC linked to Boehner.

In June, Trump praised Boehner in an interview with National Review.

“I think he’s got a very, very tough job, because he’s got factions within his own party that are pretty diametrically opposed to each other, but I think he’s got the right temperament, and I think he’s a terrific guy,” Trump said of the Ohio Republican.
