Former president Donald Trump recently shared his reasons for not enjoying football as a child, revealing that he felt overwhelmed by a player who was “lifting weights all day” and came from a rough neighborhood was tackling him too hard.
The Republican presidential candidate shared these comments during a recent appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast.
“I played football too. I didn’t particularly like it,” Trump said on the podcast. “I could catch the ball good but I didn’t particularly like having some guy that was, uh, lifting weights all day long and came from a bad neighborhood. Yeah, and he sees me, and they were tackling hard.”
As we all know it’s crunch time for both candidates. With less than four weeks until the election, the contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump appears to be tightly contested. Recent polls from this month indicate that Trump has significantly closed the gap on Harris, creating a situation that resembles a virtual tie.
According to Forbes, in the latest Morning Consult weekly poll, released on Tuesday, Harris holds a four-point advantage, reflecting a slight decrease of one point from her prior position in the last two surveys.
Meanwhile, a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll published on Monday reports that Trump is trailing Harris by a narrow margin of 51% to 49% among registered voters, following a tie in their September findings.

A Sunday NBC poll of registered voters reveals a tie at 48% for both candidates, while an ABC/Ipsos poll also released that day shows Harris ahead by two points (50%-48%) among likely voters, although this falls within the poll’s 2.5-point margin of error—marking a change from last month, when both ABC and NBC indicated Harris had about a five-point lead.
Additionally, a CBS/YouGov poll from Sunday indicates Harris leading Trump by 51% to 48% among likely voters, which is a slight tightening from her previous 52%-48% lead last month. In seven key battleground states, she maintains a narrower advantage of 50%-49%.
While other polls suggest a more substantial lead for the Vice President, the race has indeed become closer recently. An Economist/YouGov poll released on Wednesday shows Harris ahead of Trump by four points (49% to 45%), a decrease from her five-point lead (49% to 46%) in the group’s survey conducted on September 30.
