At a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Monday night, Donald Trump said he's received two down-to-the-wire endorsements: One from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, and another from the team's coach, Bill Belichick.
"Tom Brady, great guy, great guy," Trump said. "Great guy, great friend of mine — great, great champion. Unbelievable winner. He called me today and he said, 'Donald, I support you, you're my friend, and I voted for you.'" Trump said he asked Brady if he could announce this at his rally, and Brady responded, "'If you want to say it, you can say it.' Okay? Tom, that's what a champ is all about." Trump also said he received "the most beautiful letter" from Belichick, and the coach sent him a "stronger" version to read at the rally.
