There was a time when Donald
called me up and said, Hey,
I want you to speak at
the Republican Convention.
It was weird cause I was actually
a Hillary Clinton supporter.
I was really into her. Did
you get asked the same thing?
I would imagine he wanted
you to endorse him.
Yeah. He wanted me to speak
at that convention too.
And I think that I wasn't
going to do anything political.
Like I met him in 2001
and 2002 he asked me,
after I won my first Super Bowl,
to go judge a Miss USA competition,
which I thought was the
coolest thing in the world.
He would call me after games and say 'I
watched your game, Tom,' and you know,
'Let's play golf together.' So 2003, 2004,
and then the whole political
aspect came. And I think,
I think I got brought into a lot of those
things because it was so polarizing,
um, around the election time.
That was uncomfortable
for me because you know,
you can't undo things, and not that I
would undo a friendship but, you know,
the political support is totally
different than the support of a friend.
Right. And what do you do? Like
what, when you tell him no,
I won't speak at the
Republican convention. Was
he pissed? Did you, I mean,
how awkward was that for you? I imagine
you get asked to do a lot of stuff.
I didn't want to get into all
the political, cause again,
it's 50% of the people feel...
There's zero win in anything when we,
in regards to that, because what works,
it's, it's politics. So,
but Tom, the other big thing was that, um,
Trump always dreamed
of you marrying Ivanka.
Yeah.
And he told me he suggested it to you,
but did you ever take him up on that?
Did you ever go out with her?
That was, that was a long time ago.
That was a long time ago in my life. So
Did you consider it?
Did I consider dating her? Uh,
no, there was never,
there was never that where we
ever dated or anything like that.
I think I married the most amazing
woman, and so I have no regret.
Good answer.
