My impression of Brady’s “friendship” with Trump was like how I am “friends” with people I don’t really like all that much. I tolerate them, sometimes it has minor benefits. I can see Brady going along with this “friendship” thing and then being given the MAGA hat, probably thinking “Trump’s not gonna win anyway” back in 2016 (like so many of us did). Then you’re kinda stuck, he gave you the hat, maybe you even lied and said “sure, I’ll vote for you” at some event. Oops.
I don’t want to brush off the damage Trump did, but I have never thought Brady paid attention to politics, his wife is definitely the better half in those matters.
But also, someone like Brady who is dedicated and disciplined couldn’t watch Trump’s presidency unfold in such a lazy haphazard way and approve of it.
