Speaking to a crowd at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, Brown reflected on his time with the Steelers and how he learned to represent the “blue-collar, hardworking people” of Pittsburgh.

He emphasized that his journey from being a sixth-round draft pick to a celebrated NFL star taught him the importance of resilience and dedication. “I came to Pittsburgh as a sixth-round draft pick and underdog, but the people in the city really embraced me. They knew what it was like to be an underdog,” Brown stated. “My time here taught me to embody the spirit of Pittsburgh, a blue-collar, hardworking people, that are resilient and face challenges head-on.”

He further praised Trump for his understanding of success and his commitment to making America great again.

During his remarks, Brown acknowledged that everyone experiences “highs and lows” in life, including his own career as a Super Bowl champion and his role as a father to seven children.

He pointed out that Trump, too, has faced adversity throughout his life, despite the challenges posed by the media and political opponents. “And, to be real, we all got to experience highs and lows, especially me and my career as a SuperBowl champion. I have experienced low points and have to overcome adversity just how it was,” Brown said. “Donald Trump overcame adversity. No matter what the media threw at him, no matter what people say to try to bring him down, he continued to push forward and keep getting back up.”

Brown declared that Trump believes in the potential for greatness within the United States, further stating, “We all need to possess courage and keep pushing forward to bring a better future.” He rallied the crowd by declaring support for Trump, stating, “Speaking of pushing forward in a better future, we are here to support our 45th president, soon to be the 47th president, Donald J. Trump.”

He emphasized that Trump embodies the values instilled in him by the city of Pittsburgh and that, under Trump’s leadership, America could achieve greatness.

This is not the first time Brown has expressed his support for Trump.

In May, he remarked that Trump was “a good businessman” and had been “a good president,” highlighting the former president’s positive impact on individuals such as Lil Wayne and Kodak Black.

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Trump continues to garner support from various public figures, with Brown’s endorsement reinforcing the former president’s connection to the working-class demographic in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state.
