Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown made it very clear how he feels about Donald Trump following Saturday’s horrifying assassination attempt on the former president.
Donald Trump was holding a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday when shots suddenly rang out. Secret Service agents quickly rushed to the stage to shield Trump, who was seen bleeding from the ear. The 78-year-old returned to his feet and raised his fist to the crowd to let them know he was alright.
Trump was treated at the hospital and released soon afterward. The shooter, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot and killed by the Secret Service Counter Assault Team.
Following Trump’s survival of the terrifying shooting, Antonio Brown took to X/Twitter and offered several messages of support for the Republican nominee (WARNING: Tweets below contain language that is NSFW):

Antonio Brown has also been a heavy critic of U.S. President and Democratic nominee Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris. So yes, it’s rather clear who the former NFL wide receiver is voting for come the Nov. 5 election.
Biden condemned the shooting of his opponent, stating that they “are not enemies” and that Americans “must stand together.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President of France Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer are among the world leaders who condemned the shooting as well.
Trump vs. Biden marks only the seventh presidential election rematch in the history of the United States and the first since 1956. That year, Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson II to retain his seat in office.
Donald Trump Would Make History With Victory Over Joe Biden
If Trump defeats Biden, he would become just the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms. Grover Cleveland is the only president in that club, having served from 1885 to ’89 and again from 1893 to ’97. Benjamin Harrison was in office between Cleveland’s two terms.
NFL Fans Were Totally Duped Into Thinking Superstar QB Had A Front Row Seat At Donald Trump’s Rally In Florida

Football fans fell for a doctored photo indicating that one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks supports 2024 presidential nominee Donald Trump.
On Tuesday night, Donald Trump held a rally in Doral, Florida. Doral, part of Miami-Dade County, is roughly 14.3 miles from Miami. Trump, the 45th president of the United States, is the Republican nominee against President Joe Biden.
Most high-profile NFL players try to avoid discussing politics publicly. That includes Miami Dolphins signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa, but fans were tricked into thinking he was assigned a front row seat for Trump’s rally.
Henry Rodgers of The Daily Caller shared a photo of the front row seats reserved for Donald Trump’s family, just after 2:30 p.m. EST. As you can see, three of these seats were saved for his three sons: Donald Jr., Eric and Barron:
Somehow, a doctored photo showing Tua Tagovailoa’s name on the bottom seat instead of Barron’s went viral. And countless fans fell for it:

Regardless of how Tua Tagovailoa feels politically, there’s no shortage of big-named athletes (current and retired) who have voiced their support for Donald Trump. These include Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Orr, Johnny Damon, Curt Schilling, Brett Favre, Mariano Rivera, Bob Cousy, Herschel Walker, Mike Ditka, Greg Norman, and Maurkice Pouncey.
Trump has also received donations from plenty of NFL owners, including Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys), Mike Brown (Cincinnati Bengals), Shad Khan (Jacksonville Jaguars), Stan Kroenke (Los Angeles Rams) and Woody Johnson (New York Jets).
Donald Trump & Joe Biden: A Rare Election Rematch
Trump aims to become the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms in office. The only president to have done so is Grover Cleveland, whose two terms (1885-1889 and 1893-97) came before and after Benjamin Harrison’s tenure in office.
As well, Trump vs. Biden is the first presidential election rematch since 1956, when Dwight D. Eisenhower won his reelection bid against Adlai Stevenson II in the 1956 election.
