It's been over a year since a "Make America Great Again" hat was spotted in the locker of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Since then, Brady has been identified as a public supporter of now-President Donald Trump.

But in recent months the connection between the two has appeared to grew a little colder.

According to the New York Times, Trump appears to have lost that bond with the Patriots quarterback, and "expresses disappointment" that Brady "has distanced himself."

Brady, who described Trump as "a friend of mine" back in October hasn't made many comments related to the president in 2017. In fact, his only remark of note came following Trump's statement that NFL players should be fired for kneeling during the national anthem.

During an appearance on WEEI, Brady said that he disagreed with the president's remarks, saying the he "thought it was just divisive." Brady did not join teammates in kneeling for the anthem, but did link arms on the sideline.
