"When Tom Brady loses, America loses" - 'Trump's favourite author' distraught after Buccaneers lose to Steelers
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers slumped to a 20-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Nick Adams, an author who has been personally endorsed by former US President Donald Trump, isn't exactly thrilled by it.
The Buccaneers lost for the third time in their last four games, this time in Steel City, as many questions surrounding Brady and the Buccaneers' offense continue to be asked.
Adams took to his Twitter account and posted that when the Buccaneers quarterback loses, America loses.
"When Tom Brady loses, America loses."

The 45-year-old quarterback has been off his usual high standards through the first six games of the 2022-23 NFL season.
Many point to his relationship troubles with wife Gisele Bundchen as one of the main reasons. But for Adams, he is clearly disappointed that the Buccaneers didn't pull off the win.
Brady and Buccaneers are off the pace this season
Facing a Pittsburgh outfit that had rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett at the helm, many across the NFL landscape would have thought the Buccaneers could get the win.
After Pickett had to leave the game due to a concussion that brought Mitch Trubisky in, Tampa Bay was still in the driver's seat. Unfortunately, their up-and-down form of 2022 continued.
Despite the Buccaneers having more total yards, more first downs and seven more plays, they failed to win the most important stat - the score.
Tampa Bay were not good on third down either, converting just four of their 14 attempts.
The frustration on the sidelines was evident from Brady as the cameras captured the 45-year-old giving his offensive line a serious telling. The seven-time Super Bowl champ was sacked twice and never looked comfortable.

The loss leaves the Buccaneers level at the top of the NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons defeated the San Francisco 49ers 28-14 to move joint top of the division.
Many are wondering exactly where Tampa Bay sits in the Super Bowl conversation. For some, they will be one of the favorites, but after their up-and-down start to the year, making the playoffs could be a difficult task.
The outfit will travel to Bank of America Stadium next for a Week 7 matchup against a division rival in the Carolina Panthers.
