Earlier in the day, the U.S. Appeals court ruled that Brady had to serve a four-game suspension due to the "Deflategate" controversy. Brady and Trump have been friends for a while, and Brady briefly endorsed Trump for president.
Some other gems from the rally:

Overall, Trump was very well-received in the Ocean State, and he's on track to do very well there on Tuesday. Rhode Island doesn't have a ton of delegates, but as we've seen in recent weeks, every delegate counts.
