Controversial NFL legend turns on Donald Trump over new Charlie Kirk announcement

Updated: Sep. 26, 2025, 4:14 p.m. | Published: Sep. 26, 2025, 2:52 p.m.

Retired NFL All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown recently had some harsh words for President Donald Trump, who Brown has supported publicly since last spring.

Things took a turn Thursday when Brown responded to news from “Florida’s Voice” reporter Eric Daugherty on “X” — “Legislation being filed in the U.S. House to place CHARLIE KIRK on 400,000 silver dollar coins in 2026.”

Brown, who reportedly has left the country due to legal issues in the U.S., responded: “They’re doing literally the dumbest s--- you can possibly think of just to avoid releasing the Epstein files,” followed by a crying-laughing emoji.

Former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown, 36, was recently slapped with an arrest warrant for attempted murder, and according to his post on “X,” has left the country.

“I’m out the country,” Brown wrote on Saturday. “Ain’t no more child support, tell your mama get a job.”

Brown’s second-degree attempted murder charge stems from a shooting that took place during an altercation outside an amateur boxing event in Miami, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Associated Press.

Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck. The charge carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence and up to a $10,000 fine.

He did suffer at least one major concussion from an ugly hit to the head which can impact mood and impulse control. But he could also just be a lousy person.

He is right, but he still is a nutcase.

I guess he didn't get the green light to run for the vacant senate seat after Tubbyville gets elected governor.
