Donald Trump Didn't Mention Tom Brady Once In Patriots White House Speech

Following the New England Patriots' latest visit to the White House Wednesday, the New York Times compared the team pictures with the president from 2015 (during the Obama administration) and 2017 (during the Trump administration) in a tweet that's been retweeted more than 30,000 times.

LeGarrette Blount, Chris Long, Alan Branch, Dont'a Hightower, Martellus Bennett and Devin McCourty all previously said they would not go to the ceremony.

Trump didn't mention Brady during his remarks today, but he did mention a handful of other players who made key contributions to the team's unlikely Super Bowl comeback.

Gronkowski asked him if he was sure, and when Mr Spicer reiterated his initial response, he told him he'd let him get on with it, to which Mr Spicer said: "Alright, thanks man". Tom Brady bowed out of the event early Wednesday morning citing "personal family matters".

Sources revealed that although the National Football League quarterback has spoken positively of Trump in the past, in prior months, he has been relatively silent on the new President.

"You pulled off the greatest Super Bowl victory of all-time".

But Shorten said Turnbull had been forced by the most conservative elements of his government to propose the changes. The visa was abolished by the federal government in a move to "put Australians first".

Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft, and Brady have all admitted to being friends with Trump, so the Patriots feeling the need to combat the photo isn't a surprise. "I'll say this right now: George Steinbrenner was a very good friend of mine".

The White House celebrations were overshadowed by the suicide of the Patriots former star Aaron Hernandez, who hanged himself on Wednesday in a prison cell where he was serving a life sentence for murder, prison officials said. Two players were brought to speak to reporters after the White House ceremony, but both said they had not known Hernandez. Tom Brady Although he will not be in attendance, Brady has good relations with President Trump, which stirred up controversy during the 2016 election.

This isn't the first time the four-time Super Bowl MVP skipped a visit to the White House.

Brady's mother has also reportedly been suffering from health problems.

"I've had the great privileged to be here several times, but this one, th way we were treated the opportunity to be in the Oval Office and be with the President, and see the inside of the White House, has just been fabulous", Belichick said of Wednesday's visit. "With the president having so many strong opinions and prejudices I believe certain people might feel accepted there while others won't".
