Tom Brady and Donald Trump are friends. However, Tom Brady has not officially endorsed Donald Trump, and the Republican presidential candidate says it’s because he totally doesn’t want Brady’s endorsement. Sure.
NESN reports on Trump telling a radio station that he doesn’t want to burden Brady with having to get involved in politics for Trump’s sake. “He’s got sponsors, he’s got all of his different things that he has to do. And I told him not to,” he said.
As an example, Trump talked about Brady praising the candidate in a magazine article. “Don’t do that, because you may have a sponsor that doesn’t like me,'” he explained. “They may be liberal, they may be something. And I don’t want him to get involved in that stuff. It’s hard for athletes.” Well, if there’s one thing that Brady and Trump have in common, it’s knowing how to make money, so that sounds somewhat plausible.
Still, Brady shows his support by saying “great stuff” about Trump. Wait, I thought he wasn’t supposed to do that because of his liberal sponsors. What’s going on here? Surely, Trump isn’t full of crap with this story.
And maybe if Trump loses in New Hampshire, he’ll reconsider this stance.
