Brett Favre spent his legendary NFL career as a gunslinger. His willingness to take crazy chances with the football translated into a Hall of Fame career. He also is willing to take his chances politically, as he is a huge supporter and friend of President Trump.
He spun the left into a tizzy when he golfed with America’s 45th President back in summer 2020, and now he is likely to make leftists wet their diapers and spit out their binkey’s with his latest statements about the former President. Favre simply doesn’t care, and is willing to go to bat for the former Donald Trump.
Recently in an interview with Jason Whitlock, Favre has some interesting hot-takes on the state of our country, President Trump, and the guy in the White House right now, among other things. According to Outkick, Favre told Whitlock this:
“I think our country was in better shape with [Trump],”

Favre is stating the obvious reality. However he isn’t afraid of getting cancelled after saying it, unlike most people in the mainstream media, Hollywood, and the sports world. He elaborated:
“I think Donald was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I’m flawed just like the rest of them. We’re all flawed. But, I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don’t know if our current president has the same mentality, our regime. I’m not knocking anyone. That’s just how I felt,”
Favre took a not-so-veiled shot at current President Joe Biden, implying that perhaps he doesn’t exactly prioritize Americans. A very fair point, considering what Biden has done to the country, while sending truck loads of cash overseas. While trump put border security and the middle class first, Biden has been busy lining his pockets and giving away money to foreign governments.
Favre went on to say the “focus” should be on the American people. Being a man with blue-collar roots, one shouldn’t expect any less of the Packer legend. He also hinted that his support for Trump has cost him financially, though he didn’t elaborate.
In one of the more interesting moments in the interview, the legendary signal caller weighed in on the hot-button topic of transgenderism in America. He said this:
“To think that a young man who identifies as a girl, I don’t understand — just hear me out — can go into a girl’s bathroom and use the restroom with girls, and for us to think that’s OK, I think is wrong. I’m sorry,”
Polls show that the overwhelming majority of American’s agree with Favre, but most are afraid or unwilling to speak out.
That doesn’t bother Brett Favre, however. He is willing and ready to say what we are thinking. It also appears Favre is ready to see his friend and former President Donald Trump make a triumphant return to the Oval Office in 2024.
He openly stated in 2020 that his his vote is determined by freedom of speech, religion, gun rights and who supports the police and military. That clearly isn’t who is in the White House now, and sounds a lot like a former President that is now the GOP front runner.
Expect Favre to receive backlash for his interview, but also don’t expect Brett Favre to be silenced. He has spent his career overcoming the odds. From being a lightly regarded draft pick to overcoming opioid addiction, Brett Favre has never been silenced, and he likely never will. Maybe that is the reason he is so popular. America needs more celebrities willing to stand up like Favre.
