Tom Brady and Donald Trump's friendship dates back to 2002 and includes good times spent together on the golf course. The former president also publicly congratulated Brady via Twitter after his Deflategate suspension was lifted in 2015.
On the contrary, the Tampa Bay quarterback explained in 2017 that while he'd congratulated Trump on his presidential victory, he didn't agree with his values. "I don't want to get into it, but if you know someone it doesn't mean you agree with everything they say or do," Brady added.
Brady also raised eyebrows when he opted to skip the traditional White House visit following his Super Bowl LI win with the New England Patriots in 2017. Perhaps most tellingly of all, Brady's wife, Gisele Bündchen, refuted claims that he had voted for Trump in the 2020 election.
