Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has impressed a lot of people with his abilities on the field over the years. But, in 2016, it was Brady’s chance to change his mind over former best friend and then-President-elect Donald Trump. The change in Brady seemed to stem from his wife, Gisele Bündchen, and her dislike for Trump.

The 7-time Super Bowl champion was following the orders of his better half and completely focussing on winning football games. She has been unhappy with Trump over the years and added to her list of reasons after his claims of Brady being a supporter during a 2016 rally in New Hampshire. The stance of the 15-time Pro Bowler has undergone a shift and states, “I think that’s a good decision … made for our family.”

Another instance of Bündchen and her dislike for Trump was her support for an anti-Trump protest in 2017. The protest titled ‘The People’s Climate March’ was taking place in Washington DC in April 2017. While promoting the protests on social media, she states, “On April 29th in Washington- D.C. – March for climate, jobs, and justice. To change everything, we need everyone.”

When did Tom Brady and Donald Trump become friends?

The complicated relationship between the former Patriots QB and the former President of the United States dates back to 2002. The political attention for Trump was a major put-off for Brady and many other celebrities associated with him. While the Buccaneers’ QB will always have a history of supporting Trump, he has seen a change in his allegiances towards the latter.

The pair of Brady and Trump hit it off on the golf course for their mutual love of golf and the latter closely following the former’s achievements on the field. However, the friendship hit a sour note after 2016.

It became worse following Brady snubbing the 2017 White House visit following the Super Bowl LI comeback win.

The absence of Brady was not well received by the President, who omitted himself from mentioning the QB’s name in his speech. The distancing by Brady from Trump was upsetting for him and was the final nail at the end of their friendship. As the new NFL season approaches, Brady will again be switching his focus to winning yet another Super Bowl title in 2022.
