<snip>It seems clear Tom Bradys better half is not a big fan of President Trump. An ardent environmentalist, Gisele Bundchen doesnt care for the commander in chiefs take on global warming hes called it a hoax and now the Brazilian supermodel is upset about the Trump administrations decision to allow hunters to bring trophies of elephants killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the United States.<snip>
<snip>Bundchen is one of many celebs expressing shock and disappointment that Trump will reverse a ban put in place by President Obama in 2014. Friday, on Instagram, Bundchen posted a picture of herself playing with elephants. The caption: Nothing justifies killing harmless animals to use its parts only as material goods, decoration or even worse as a trophy to satisfy someones ego or pride. If we want a better future, we must take care of the wildlife. When you hurt one species you are hurting them all, including us humans. We are all connected.<snip>
And my favorite part of the article:
<snip>Were not expecting Brady to comment. Soon after Trump was elected last November, the Patriots QB, whos been a Trump friend and occasional golf partner, said he planned to stop talking about politics. I talked to my wife, she says I cant talk about politics anymore, the QB said in a radio interview. I think thats a good decision.<snip>

Dear Tom Brady: Condemning the killing of elephants and lions for trophies is not "political".

It is called "Being a decent human being".
Your wife has some humanity left in her and cares not she may not get another invite to the sulphurous interior of the illegally occupied WH.
