Donald Trump has once again become one of the most talked about public figures in the world after re-taking office in January. The 45th and 47th President of the United States has been making headlines ever since.
In February, he became the first sitting President to attend the Super Bowl. However, one of the old bribes has come back to light amid his second Presidential Term.
Breaking: Donald Trump’s $1 Million Bribe To NFL Legend Leaked (Report)
In the years before he became president of the United States, Donald Trump owned an American football team. One of his decisions back then is coming to light in 2025:
Trump once owned the New Jersey Generals of the USFL, a now-defunct former rival to the NFL. And in his stewardship of the upstart American football team, he’d push for the USFL to challenge the NFL’s supremacy at all costs.
According to an article by PBS, Trump once even made a tantalizing offer to one of the NFL’s biggest stars.
Throughout the 1980s and early ’90s, Lawrence Taylor was a household name. The imposing pass rusher was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and, to this day, remains the last defensive player to be named the NFL’s MVP.
When Taylor was in a contract dispute with the New York Giants – whom he led to two Super Bowl triumphs – Trump sent him $1 million to try to persuade him to join his USFL team.
“Trump frequently drew attention by sparring with the NFL,” the article claims. “When the New York Giants got into a public contract dispute with star Lawrence Taylor, Trump wired $1 million into the linebacker’s bank account and signed Taylor to a future contract. To get Taylor back, the Giants ‘gave me a million dollars and hated me ever after,’ Trump recalls.”
“Donald was the big, crazy-spending owner, and the NFL guys were scared to death of him,” Bill Tatham Jr., an owner of the USFL’s Arizona Outlaws who admired Trump’s antics, told PBS.
“I think Donald Trump looks at the United States like his franchise in the USFL. Don’t ever think he doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
