FOXBORO, Mass. — Shortly after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, Tom Brady declined to discuss his opinion on the billionaire-turned-world leader.
“I don’t have much to say,” the New England Patriots quarterback said Friday afternoon.
Trump during a speech the night before his inauguration said Brady had called him to offer his congratulations. The QB sidestepped a question about the topic.
“Did I call him?” Brady said. “Let’s talk about football.”
Patriots coach Bill Belichick responded similarly when asked about Trump earlier in the day.
“I mean really, just — we have a big game,” Belichick said.
The Patriots are preparing to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.
