Tom Brady set the record straight on his relationship with Donald Trump.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has been linked the former president of the United States following his various public appearances at Trump properties and after a “Make America Great Again” hat was seen in his locker during his time with the New England Patriots.
In a sit-down interview with Variety, Brady was asked if he and Trump still keep in touch.
“No, I haven’t talked to him in a lot of years,” Brady told Ramin Setoodeh.
Brady was also asked about other topics, including the future of his playing career and his broadcast deal with FOX. Brady has golfed at Trump’s golf courses, and he recalled that experience.
“This was 17 or 18 years ago,” Brady said. “I was so young. I got to go to a private golf course. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.”
Many in the public have linked Brady and Trump together and characterized them as close friends. But Brady expressed the opposite view point.
“I think they just mischaracterized a lot,” Brady said. “And my personality isn’t ever one to insult anybody. I have plenty of my own flaws. I’m not here to point out anyone else’s flaws. There are things that I agree with. There are things that I don’t. There are things I agree with my wife about. There are things that I don’t. I love her to death, but we don’t always see eye to eye.
“I don’t see eye to eye with anyone. And I’m not responsible for what other people say. I’m really responsible for what I say. So if people want to say things that I said or that I’m about, that’s up to them, and I’m not going to respond to all those things all the time either.”
In other Brady news, the quarterback reunited with former Patriots on set for his upcoming film, “80 For Brady.”
