Patriots owner praises Trump for working for country's 'best interests'

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft praised President Trump during an interview Friday on “Fox & Friends,” saying he was “working very hard to serve the best interests of the country.”

Kraft, who has a long friendship with Trump, said he was glad to have the president’s support in the upcoming Super Bowl because “we can use every fan who wants to support us.”

Kraft previously told Fox & Friends that Trump helped him in his “toughest time,” the 2011 death of his wife, Myra Kraft. “He’s been great to me over these last two decades,” Kraft said last February.

Kraft also met with the president at Trump Tower shortly after his election victory.

Tom Brady yelling to the crowds at Gillette Stadium “we’re still here, we’re still here!!” Fuck you, Brady. Hope you get picked off numerous times and get hit, fumble, at a crucial time in the game and you lose the Super Bowl, for the second straight year. And besides it’s payback time for SB XXXVI when New England defeated the, then, St. Louis Rams. For at least one week “I Love LA.” 🤪😂

The media misinterpreted his comments on Fox. They misunderstood him. What he actually said was that T worked hard to serve the best interests of the greedy wealthy.

Fake news.

Is it too obvious that I'm still mad about the Saints game?

I’m talking about the blatant face mask infraction that the Saints got away with on the Rams QB near the goal line. Would have given the Rams an extra down with which to score a TD, rather than a FG.

with his racial grandstanding on the national anthem.

Like a typical Republican, Kraft lives by the credo "As long as I'm getting mine,fuck everyone else."
