A post shared on social media purports that former NFL quarterback Tom Brady endorsed former President Donald Trump for President.

Verdict: False

There is no evidence of the endorsement.

Fact Check:

Joe Rogan posted an interview with Elon Musk on X and endorsed Trump in the caption, CNN reported. Trump thanked Rogan for the endorsement while onstage in Pennsylvania and said Rogan “tends to be a little bit more liberal,” according to the outlet.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the football star endorsed Trump. The post shared a photo of the athlete in a blue coat.

The caption reads, “Tom Brady has endorsed Donald J. Trump for President.”

The claim is inaccurate. No such announcement appears on Brady’s social media accounts.

In 2015 Brady was speculated to be supporting Trump after a MAGA hat was seen in his locker in a photograph, according to Variety. Brady responded by clarifying that the hat was sent to him by Trump personally and that he does not fully agree or disagree with Trump’s views, the outlet reported.

In 2015 Trump did claim that Brady supported him, however, that was not confirmed, Boston.com reported. The claim appeared on a parody account called, Elon Musk (Parody) saying that several public figures endorsed Trump recently. (RELATED: Did Former MLB Player Zack Cozart Endorse Harris?)
