Aaron Rodgers slams Trump and MAGA, says promises never kept
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers accused Donald Trump and the MAGA movement of failing to fulfill any campaign promises during a podcast interview.
In the second installment of the "Not Just Football" podcast, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers launched a broadside against President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again movement, stating that Trump has not delivered any of his campaign promises. He offered a brief, sarcastic overview of both of Trump's terms, noting a lack of change after promises to "drain the swamp." Rodgers extended his critique to former President Barack Obama, questioning whether the promised hope and the Affordable Care Act materially improved conditions for the Black community.
He dismissed politics as a "crazy psyop" that makes voting meaningless. The comments were amplified when a host at one outlet A. Smith reposted the interview and voiced agreement on X. Rodgers' statements reflect a growing sense of political disillusionment among prominent athletes.
