Are you a liberal-minded Patriots fan conflicted about your team’s ties to Donald Trump? If so, this story probably isn’t going help you solve internal struggles you have about Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft supporting the MAGA movement.
Before departing Houston this afternoon, the Patriots’ team plane was met a special send off in the form of a water salute:
Thanks for an unforgettable week, Houston!

Of course, the Trump parallel here is obvious — POTUS received his own water tribute before flying off to meet Barack Obama in November:

Sorry about making your Super Bowl 51 triumph weirder than it already is, leftist Patriots! (At least you have Martellus Bennett… until he chases the $$$$$ in free agency.)
Sidenote: The Pats received another water salute upon their arrival in Boston. This time with fireboats.
Back in Boston!
Next stop: @GilletteStadium. pic.twitter.com/j42zf85HGt
