Trump raves about Purdy’s performance

Former President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, and he couldn’t resist talking about football. Despite his rocky history with the NFL, Trump has always been a fan of the game. He even tried to buy a few NFL teams in the past, but it didn’t quite work out.

During his chat with former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, Trump couldn’t help but give a special shoutout to Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. He was really impressed by Purdy’s journey from being the last draft pick to leading the team. Trump said, “The quarterback is a great story. He’s like the last drafted and they put him in and he’s just moved the team. He’s really good, you never know.”



Trump also found it fascinating how sometimes the top college players don’t always shine in the NFL, while someone like Purdy, who was considered “Mr. Irrelevant” as the last draft pick, has been performing exceptionally well. He said, “You take the best player that anyone’s ever seen out of college and he turns out to be not soo good. The San Francisco quarterback I have found to be very interesting, how he’s been so good and just about the last draft pick.”

It’s interesting to see Trump, known for his strong opinions on various topics, sharing his admiration for an NFL player. It just goes to show that even a former president can’t resist talking about the excitement of football and the underdog stories that make the sport so compelling.

Trump gives him a shoutout on podcast

Despite his unexpected praise for Purdy, Trump’s appearance on the podcast wasn’t solely about sports. He’s never been one to hold back his thoughts on just about anything, and this interview was no exception. Whether it’s about sports, politics, or anything else, Trump always has something to say.

It’s not every day that we get to hear a former president chatting about football on a podcast, but Trump’s appearance on Bussin’ With the Boys certainly brought some unexpected excitement. And who knows, maybe his shoutout to Brock Purdy will give the quarterback an extra boost of motivation as he continues to lead the 49ers on the field.

In the end, it’s clear that Trump’s love for football shines through, and his admiration for a player like Brock Purdy reminds us of the unpredictable and inspiring nature of the game. As Trump himself put it, “He’s really good, you never know.” And in football, that’s what makes it so thrilling-anything can happen, and anyone can rise to the top.
