Tom Brady might be the GOAT, but he also faces intense scrutiny. The quarterback got a notorious image after his association with Donald Trump got conspicuous attention. The powerful partnership is not in existence at the current date. However, it was in its prime in the past. The ex-POTUS once praised the quarterback and mentioned how euphoric Brady was to receive his call.

In 2015, the former President appeared at a news conference in New York, where he declared his loyalty to the Republican Party. Donald Trump also spoke about his fondness for Tom Brady and Kanye West. TB12 and Trump’s friendship was something that was wild hype. The former US President admired the Buccaneers QB.

Donald Trump mentioned, “Tom Brady is a very good friend of mine. He’s a great guy, for those of you who don’t know him. He’s an honorable guy and an honest guy and a truly great athlete. He is really a very good friend of mine and I just spoke to him a little while ago, he’s so thrilled and so happy.”

In the early 2000s, Brady and Trump were close friends, and both have been upfront about it. Both entities balanced each other out and attended exhibitions jointly. TB12 has a good reputation among superstars and high-profile persons, owing to his superstardom.

What soured Tom Brady and Donald Trump’s relationship?

Tom Brady and Donald Trump had one of the most high-profile friendships. But their association also went off just as the sugar got dissolved in water. The reason for the sour patch in their relationship was not because of a verbal conflict or any dispute. TB12 distanced himself from Trump due to his choices in food.

Tom Brady and Donald Trump disagree on cuisine, according to an excerpt from the book ‘This Will Not Pass.’ Brady began adopting a notoriously stiff diet and lifestyle after marrying Gisele Bundchen in 2005. Trump’s diet consisted primarily of McDonald’s, KFC, pizzas, and Coca-Cola.

The TB12 Diet put a wedge in their relationship, and they have remained distant ever since.
