Bill Belichick has long been a friend of Donald Trump and even publicly endorsed him with a letter for President back in 2016.
Like many of Trump’s friends, they tried to distance themselves a bit from Trump while he was President for obvious reasons, but now that he is back just being regular old Donald, they can party with him freely. Based on everything we know about Urban Meyer, him being in attendance shouldn’t be a shock at all.
I would be more surprised if he didn’t attend, to be honest.
NY Post has the details on what went on at the party.
Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer spent their Super Bowl weekend at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
This news comes the same day an excerpt from “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” a book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns covered the relationship between Belichick and former president Trump, was published by Yahoo Sports.
According to the excerpt, Trump felt that Belichick “chickened out” when he declined to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom in wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
However, according to the book, Trump claimed the two made up during a round of golf at Trump International in South Florida last March.
“He came up to me on the 17th,” the former president is reported to have said to a confidant. “He hugged and kissed me.”
When Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, Belichick sent him a letter of congratulations.
“Congratulations on a tremendous campaign,” Belichick wrote. “You have dealt with an unbelievable slanted and negative media, and have come out beautifully – beautifully. You’ve proved to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully tomorrow’s election results will give the opportunity to make America great again. Best wishes for great results tomorrow.”
Most rich white people are MAGA. That includes a lot of your favorite head coaches. This shouldn’t be shocking in the least.
