During a speech in New Hampshire this week, former President Donald Trump threw a playful jab at the Patriots.
While talking about President Joe Biden and his negotiations with China, Trump decided to discuss the Patriots’ blowout loss to the Saints.
Trump said the Patriots are having a “hard time” this season.
“For him to negotiate with President Xi of China is like my high school football team playing… Let’s see, what’s a good football team nowadays? Philadelphia’s good. You know they change a little bit,” Trump said. “I used to say New England. I used to say the Patriots.
“I’d love to be able to say the Patriots. He [Bill Belichick] is a great guy, great coach, but they’re having a little hard time. What’s going on with the Patriots? But he’s a great coach. He’ll figure it out somehow.”

The Patriots have been outscored 72-3 over the past two games. Their offensive struggles have reached the point where it’s fair to question if they need to overhaul the roster and/or coaching staff.
On Sunday, the Patriots will try to snap their two-game losing streak. They’ll face the Raiders in Las Vegas.
