— — There’s one guy that Donald Trump isn’t bad mouthing — Tom Brady.
While the New England Patriots quarterback has been dealing with the deflategate scandal, he has had the support of the GOP presidential candidate from the beginning.And Trump seems to have Brady’s admiration. A red “Make America Great Again” hat was spotted this weekend in Brady’s locker at Gillette Stadium.
During today’s Dennis and Callahan Interview Morning Show on WEEI, Brady confirmed that the hat was indeed from Trump.
“Now that he’s running for president he sent me a hat and he gave it to RKK weeks ago,” Brady said, calling Patriots owner Robert Kraft by his initials. “So it found its way to my locker.”
According to Brady, the two first met back in 2002 and became great golfing buddies.
“I’ve known him since 2002 when I judged one of his beauty pageants … so I’ve known him for a long time,” Brady said. “He always gives me a call and different types of motivational speeches at different times.”
Brady went on to say that Trump is “a good friend and we’ve had a lot of time on the golf course together.”
The 38-year-old quarterback wouldn’t say if he’d vote for Trump in 2016, but complimented Trump’s accomplishments.
“It’s pretty amazing what he’s been able to accomplish as an entrepreneur, as a television star and now run for political office. People who can do those types of things and transition into different arenas and still have that type of appeal and carry-over. … He’s obviously appealing to a lot of people,” Brady said of Trump. “He’s a hell of a lot of fun to play golf with.”
The feelings are mutual — Trump likes to call Brady a “friend” of his – not to mention a “total winner.”
