This is not the first time Brady has been questioned about his friendship with Trump. Not long after Trump began his bid for the White House, reporters spotted a hat in Brady’s locker with Trump’s presidential slogan. Brady again had to address his thoughts on the Trump campaign when he clarified remarks about endorsing the candidate, saying that in fact he had not endorsed Trump when discussing the billionaire businessman on a separate occasion.
Trump was a vocal supporter of Brady during the Deflategate scandal.
They had no definitive proof against Tom Brady or #patriots. If Hillary doesn’t have to produce Emails, why should Tom? Very unfair!

People are so jealous of Tom Brady and the Patriots. No court could convict based on the evidence.They can’t beat him on the field, so this!
