“A reference like Tom Brady saying Trump’s the biggest winner, Trump is a friend of mine, that makes an incredible difference,” Trump told The New York Times following his victory. “Tom Brady is a great friend of mine. He’s a winner and he likes winners.”
There have also been some rough times.
The president’s harsh criticism of player protests during the national anthem has put Brady in a tough position.
After the Patriots’ last Super Bowl win, Brady didn’t make it to the White House celebration, reportedly disappointing his presidential fan.
The Washington Post reported at the time that Trump huddled angrily with aides when he learned Brady was skipping the event, and even called the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. Brady later said he didn’t attend the White House celebration because he was spending time with his mother, who was battling cancer at the time.
