According to the reporting revealed in an upcoming book, former President Donald Trump was “bothered” by Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s decision to not accept an offer to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom in early 2021.
In addition, the former president also claimed that Belichick took time to seek Trump out on the golf course several months later.
For the the upcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns spoke with Trump in April, 2021. Included in the interview was Trump’s characterization of Belichick.
