Tom Brady and Donald Trump have shared an unexpected friendship over the last few years.

However, Brady hasn't continued speaking publicly about Trump.

In a 2016 interview, Brady ended up abandoning a press conference following a Trump-related question. Though the seven-time Super Bowl winner was polite, his message was clear.
“How would you respond if your kids heard Donald Trump’s version of locker room talk?” the reporter asked.
Brady responded:
“Thank you guys, have a good day.”
What locker room talk is the reporter talking to Tom Brady about?
Back in 2016, Trump was recorded while having some particularly lewd conversations about women in 2005. As per reports, Trump bragged about kissing while using vulgar terms and groping, stating that 'when you’re a star, they let you do it'.
Trump ended up defending himself and apologizing.
"I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.”
"I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am."
Tom Brady and Donald Trump's friendship turned uncomfortable during the 2016 presidential campaign
Apparently, Brady and Trump became friends in 2002, shortly after Brady won the first of his seven Super Bowl titles. He was also the MVP of that game. They even remained close friends who golfed together until the infamous 2015 Deflategate scandal hit.
Brady was even spotted with a tell-tale red Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap in his locker. Brady refused to confirm who he voted for, and even denied endorsing Trump. The recently retired QB grew visibly tired of the questions, even though Trump announced Brady's support.
During an interview with Howard Stern, Brady explained that supporting a friend of his and supporting a political candidate for the country are two different things. Ultimately, the constant brigade of questions made their dynamic uncomfortable (at least publicly).
