Former US President Donald Trump is making waves again with his controversial tongue. This time dragging Ravens‘ star QB Lamar Jackson and NFL legend Tom Brady in the ongoing controversy. The roots of this trouble lie in what many consider to be a ‘lie’ from the former president. Unfortunately, this falsehood gained traction through a media outlet, prompting others to join in and stoke the flames.

This isn’t the first instance of Brady and Jackson’s names being linked to Trump. Jackson even extended gratitude to the 77-year-old in a past tweet. As for Brady, he had multiple friendly connections with Trump early in his career, including rounds of golf and serving as a judge at the Miss USA pageant in 2002. But this friendship turned sour for them too. However, this time around, Trump’s revelation hasn’t managed to impress many.

Former President Donald Trump was arrested and booked at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on Thursday night. The 77-year-old was accused of racketeering, conspiracy, and soliciting a public official to breach their oath of office, among others. His mug shot was quickly shared on social media and garnered widespread attention. Notably, discussions also revolved around Trump’s listed measurements: 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds.

The viral news prompted comparisons between Trump’s measurements and those of prominent athletes. MSNBC drew parallels with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, NFL legend Tom Brady, Phillies star Bryce Harper, and boxing icon Muhammad Ali. Jackson stands at 6’2″ and 215 lbs, Brady at 6’4″ and 225 lbs, Harper at 6’3″ and 210 lbs, and Ali at 6’3″ and 214 lbs.
