HOUSTON, USA – US President Donald Trump was quick off the mark in tweeting his praise of the New England Patriots Sunday, February 5 (Monday in Manila), after they authored the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history to beat the Atlanta Falcons.
“What an amazing comeback and win by the Patriots,” Trump tweeted as social media echoed with tributes to New England’s 34-28 triumph in the NFL championship showcase in Houston, Texas.
“Tom Brady, Bob Kraft and Coach B are total winners. Wow!” added Trump, who has regularly referenced his friendship with Pats quarterback Brady, coach Bill Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft.

Brady brought the Patriots back from a 28-3 deficit to force overtime – the first Super Bowl overtime in history – becoming the first quarter back to win 5 Super Bowl titles and the first 4-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player.

Some of the comments celebrating Brady and the team were tinged with lingering bitterness over the 4-game ban handed Brady by the NFL over the Deflategate saga.
“#JusticePrevails,” the Boston Police department tweeted. “#BostonStrong: When they suspended TB12 for 4 games they didn’t just disrespect the greatest QB of all time, they insulted a region.”
