New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is many things. One of them is a coward, according to Donald Trump. Yahoo Sports columnist Charles Robinson reported Sunday on a forthcoming book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for Americas Future, which is due to hit bookstands in May.
One of the items discussed is Trumps attempt to give Belichick the Presidential Medal of Freedom shortly before leaving office in 2021. However, in light of the Capitol insurrection, Belichick declined the honor. And that didnt sit well with Trump, according to an excerpt obtained by Yahoo Sports.
One of the rejections that had bothered him the most had come from Bill Belichick, the legendary coach of the New England Patriots who had declined Trumps attempt to grant him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In the immediate aftermath of the riot, it was just not possible for him to appear with Trump. Back then, Trump said, Belichick had chickened out.
But get this, Trump claims: The coach had just a week earlier been playing golf at Trumps nearby course. Trump had run into him there on the second-to-last hole. He came up to me on the seventeenth, the former commander-in-chief recounted with relish.
Stretching credulity for anyone familiar with Belichicks gruff persona, Trump claimed: He hugged me and kissed me.
