During a recent podcast appearance, former Green Bay Packer and Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre said that America was a “better place” when Donald Trump was president.
Favre made the comments to Jason Whitlock on the Fearless podcast.
Favre, who is not affiliated with any party, says he doesn’t agree with “everything Donald Trump does or says” and criticized his use of Twitter —but ultimately backs the former president.
“I think our country was in better shape with him…” Favre said. “I think Donald was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I’m flawed just like the rest of ’em. We’re all flawed. But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country.
“Black, white, Hispanic, Asian — you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don’t know if our current president has the same mentality.”
Favre and Whitlock also discussed another hot topic: trans athletes.
“To think that a young man who identifies as a girl, I don’t understand it — just hear me out — can go into a girl’s bathroom and use the restroom with girls, and for us to think that’s OK, I think is wrong. I’m sorry…” Favre said. “I just think some things we’re allowing in this country are beyond belief… Some of the thoughts and beliefs we’re seeing are crazy.”
