Brady was suspended for the first four games in the 2016 season for the Deflategate scandal. However, a more serious concern for the quarterback was that his mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer along with myeloma. That really broke him. However, he did not let that affect his performance in the gridiron.

Trump furiously reacts to Brady’s absence
A year later a Washington Post report opened the curtains to the chaotic scenes aboard Air Force One, “Trump grew angry in April 2017 when Tom Brady said he planned to skip the White House visit with the Patriots, huddling angrily with aides and even calling Patriots owner Robert Kraft. One former senior administration official described a chaotic scene unfolding over the heartlands of America, as Trump flew back from an event in Wisconsin. Trump made a number of calls and asked aides to help fix the situation, worried that Brady’s absence would reflect poorly on him.”
As per the report Trump was not at all happy with Tom Brady not attending the event. The fact that they had been friends since 2002, makes it even more heartbreaking for Trump. Although Brady was never opposed to Trump, yet still his absence was deeply felt by the then President of the United States.
