quote:

If we’re learned nothing else from this presidential campaign, we’ve learned that Donald Trump is a great self-promoter. And so it should come as no surprise that Trump has figured out a way to get his name in the news by discussing Deflategate.

Trump said on FOX Business Channel that he and Tom Brady are close, and that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was wrong to suspend Brady.

“I think it’s ridiculous the way they’ve treated him,” Trump said of Brady. “He’s a friend of mine, he’s a great friend of mine, he’s a great guy, and I think it’s ridiculous the way they’ve treated him. To spend $10 million in legal fees, and now it’s probably higher than that, it’s crazy. He’s a great star. They ought to go back to playing football. This country has bigger problems.”

Does he expect the NFL to address the federal deficit or police brutality?

what are the problems in this country he seems to think the NFL should be solving?

why is he bothered that a private industry is holding its employees accountable for breaking company policy?

I'm sure Brady is thrilled that Trump is speaking up for him.

If a billionaire says you're a good friend of his you agree with him.

His quote is idiotic.

"Our country has bigger problems"

No shite, clown, but when it comes to the NFL, a team that has spent nearly a decade cheating is a pretty huge problem.

Meh... it wouldn't shock me if someone like Trump didn't have any real friends. It would explain a lot of his attention whore statements over the years.

He might be right about Tom Brady being his friend, but the rest of what he said was fricking retarded.
