GOP frontrunner Donald Trump tweeted in support of Tom Brady’s federal court victory Thursday, saying the Patriots’ quarterback is a “total winner.”

It’s high praise from Trump, who often dubs his friends “winners” and levels “loser” at his critics. It’s also not the first time Trump has taken to social media to back Brady, going as far as urging the player to sue the league.

  1. The Donald really likes someone who is good at winning a rigged game.

  3. Does this mean that in Trump’s eyes O.J. Simpson is a winner?
