During an appearance at the White House on Tuesday, Tom Brady was joined by his teammates from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to celebrate the team’s win in Super Bowl 55 earlier this year.
Brady was the only member of the team that spoke, and what he had to say was clearly aimed at failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump:
“It didn’t look great there at one point. We were 7-5, struggling a little bit, as the President alluded to. But we found a rhythm, we got on a roll. Not a lot of people think that we could have won. In fact, I think, about 40 percent of the people still don’t think we won.”
President Joe Biden replied:
“I understand that.”
Brady continued:
“You understand that, Mr. President?”
The president reiterated:
“I understand that.”
However, Brady had some other jokes up his sleeve, adding:
“It’s nice for me to be back here. We had a game in Chicago where I forgot what down it was. I lost track of one down in 21 years of playing, and they started calling me ‘Sleepy Tom.’ Why would they do that to me?”
A visibly amused Biden — who has been called “Sleepy Joe” by Trump — retorted:
“I don’t know!”
Somewhere in Florida, Donald Trump could only sit and stew in his own jealousy and hatred.
Game, set, and match, Tom Brady. With one hell of an assist from President Biden.
Well done, gentlemen!
