Former President Trump was reportedly upset by New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick's decision not to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year.
During an interview with New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns for an upcoming book, Trump reportedly said that Belichick "chickened out" after being offered the award.
An excerpt of the interview with Trump was obtained this week by Yahoo News.
"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 Trump's attempt to grant him the Presidential Medal of Freedom," Martin and Burns reportedly write.
