At a Monday campaign rally in Rhode Island, GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump came to the defense of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady. "First of all, let's start by leaving Tom Brady alone," Trump said, referencing the news that the quarterback's 4-game suspension for his alleged involvement in the "Deflategate" scandal during the 2015 AFC championship was reinstated.
Trump, who is friends with Brady, added that he's "a great guy." Watch Trump's comments in the clip below. Ben Shull
