Donald Trump has publicly slammed Hillary Clinton for her use of celebrites on the campaign trail to generate excitement. The Republican nominee says he didn’t need such support to draw huge crowds.
But if there’s one celebrity it seems as though Trump would make an exception for, it’s New England Patriots quarterback and NFL superstar Tom Brady.
On Monday, Trump told supporters in New Hampshire that Brady had called him to express his support. Tuesday morning, he repeated the claim, telling Fox News, “I got a call from Tom yesterday — just as a friend of mine — and he said: ‘Hey, I’m voting for you, man, and I’m with you.’ And I said, ‘You mind if I announce that?’ He said, ‘Nope, you can announce it.’ I said, ‘Great.’”
The only problem is, Brady hasn’t said he’s voting for Trump. In fact, he’s been pretty much silent on the presidential election. On the other hand, his wife, model Gisele Bündchen, emphatically told a supporter on Instagram that she and her husband were not supporting Trump.
