Watch: Trump Just Got an Endorsement From One of the Biggest (and Most Controversial) ‘Winners’

Superbowl champion Tom Brady appeared to at least informally endorse Donald Trump’s candidacy today during a press gaggle in the New England Patriots’ team locker room.

Reporters commented on the quarterback having one of the billionaire candidate’s “Make America Great Again” hats hanging in his locker. Brady said Trump had sent it to him.

Although Brady isn’t yet sure if he’s going to vote for Trump, he seemed to be pulling for him, according to CBS Sports.

Asked if Trump has what it takes to win, the football player responded: “I hope so. That would be great,” adding: “There would be a putting green on the White House lawn. I’m sure of that.”

Brady and Trump have known each other since 2002, when the Patriots quarterback served as a judge at the Miss USA pageant. The pageant is run by the Miss Universe organization, which was partially owned by Trump until he sold it earlier this week. The friendship has now lasted for over a decade, and the two used to regularly play golf before Brady’s kids were born.

In an interview last week, Brady described Trump as “a good friend” and added: “It’s been pretty amazing what he’s been able to accomplish as an entrepreneur and then, really, as a television star, and now he’s running for political office. People who can do those type of things and transition into different arenas and still have that type of appeal and carryover. He’s obviously appealing to a lot of people.” (Read more from “Trump Just Got an Endorsement From One of the Biggest (and Most Controversial) ‘Winners'” HERE)
