Trump's Take on Belichick's Hall of Fame Snub
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to express his displeasure over Bill Belichick missing out on the Pro Football Hall of Fame's first-ballot induction for 2025. Trump didn't hold back, blaming the league's perceived softness for both the new kickoff rule and Belichick's exclusion.
"It is the same mindset that gave pro football the new and unwatchable 'Sissy' Kickoff Rule, that made it possible for Bill Belichick to not be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Both are ridiculous and should be overturned!"
