Donald Trump is endorsed by Antonio Brown as the troubled ex-NFL star makes a bizarre offer to the former president ahead of the election against Joe Biden
Antonio Brown has endorsed Donald Trump ahead of this year’s presidential election, with the former NFL star even offering to host the inauguration ceremony.
Brown also called on the 77-year-old billionaire to help rapper Young Thug, who is currently on trial for racketeering, along with other members of his rap group YSL.
America will choose between Trump and incumbent Joe Biden in November in what promises to be one of the most polarizing and hotly contested elections of all time.
Brown played as a wide receiver in the NFL for more than a decade, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win the 2021 Super Bowl and reach the Pro Bowl seven times.
Even in retirement, the 35-year-old has rarely been out of the headlines due to financial problems and a series of controversial outbursts on social media, which saw him bash the likes of Caitlin Clark and Tom Brady.

“I think Donald Trump is a good businessman … and he’s been a good president,” he said
Now ‘AB’ has expressed its support for former President Trump and even promised to help him celebrate a second term.
“I will support Trump,” Brown told Outkick. ‘I never met him. I admire his business moves and study his father, Fred Trump.
“But I think Donald Trump is a good businessman, he comes from a good family and has been a good president.
He added: “You know he likes black people campaigning, preferably footballers. So Donald Trump, you heard it here from the AB guy’s mouth: inauguration, send me my bag or whatever…’
Brown also praised Trump for the “great things” he had done “for a lot of my brothers in the music industry.”
Brown quoted rap stars Lil Wayne and Kodak, who were respectively pardoned and had sentences commuted by Trump on his last full day as president in 2021.
“I hope he can do some of those things, Young Thug,” Brown added. So Trump, man, if you look at this, we gotta free Young Thug. If you could help.”
