Tom Brady on Friendship With Donald Trump: ‘Why Such a Big Deal?’
One day after winning the AFC championship for the seventh time, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady appeared on “The Kirk & Callahan Show” on Boston’s WEEI radio and revealed new insights about his relationship with President Trump.
Brady said, “I have called him, yes, in the past. Sometimes he calls me. Sometimes I call him. But, again, that’s been someone I’ve known. I always try to keep it in context, because for 16 years you know someone before maybe he was in the position that he was in. He’s been very supportive of me for a long time. It’s just a friendship. I got a lot of friends. I call a lot of people.”
During the presidential campaign, Brady was criticized for his friendship with Trump and was asked by his wife, Gisele Bündchen, not to publicly discuss politics or the Donald. When pressed about their relationship, Brady added, “Why does everybody make such a big deal? I don’t understand it.”
The New England Patriots will go on to battle the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI on Feb. 5 at NRG Stadium in Houston.
