Donald Trump’s supporters were thrilled that the 45th President of the United States was re-elected as the 47th President, but no one seems happier than former NFL star Le’Veon Bell.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback posted a video Wednesday night on Channel X after Fox News predicted Trump would defeat Vice President Kamala Harris.

“All I’ll say is I tried to tell y’all,” Bill said. “Make America great again, make America great again. Now you can go get a hat. There’s no point in me moving, is there? Did you all think I was going somewhere? Joke on you! Joke on you! I won’t I go anywhere, I’m here to make America great, man, Donald Trump for president, the 47th president.
“You all thought I was crazy. You all thought I was the only flounder,” he added, mocking people who called him a c— and saying he suffered from “chronic traumatic encephalopathy” for choosing to support Trump. “…Trump is the 47th president, as I tried to tell you all.”
Bell threw his support for the former president in the days before the election, speaking at a Trump rally with his former colleague Antonio Brown.

Afterwards, Bell recalled the experience of being called on stage.
“I’ve fought, I’ve played in big football games — playoff games, regular season, Super Bowls — and I’ve never had the feeling I had two days ago in that huddle when I was behind that microphone in front of America. Probably the most America,” Bell said in October. “Just, I was in front of millions of people.”
“Let me tell you how real Trump is. First, I didn’t know I was going to be called on stage… When Trump went up there and talked to my brother, I had no idea, I had no idea, that he was going to do that.” He called me up on stage, and not only did he shake my hand and talk to me a little bit, but I was thinking it would be good for me. I’m cool bro, he literally looked me in the face and backed off (and said, “Do you have something to say?” I basically said, ‘Your mic, I got really nervous, bro!’
Bill seemed impressed with his interaction with Trump and how he was able to speak at the rally with Brown.

“Basically, what I’m trying to say is that Trump is a real person, bro. He’s a real person. He didn’t tell me like he was going to let me say anything or nothing, and he didn’t tell me he was going to call me.” “He did it, brother, out of love. I understand that he might want to win the election or whatever, but I’m trying to tell you all, I couldn’t have done that and ruined everything… That’s why you don’t understand that Trump is a real person.”
