President-elect Donald Trump held the Campaign Donors Dinner on Thursday night, as he prepares to take office. There were a lot of celebrities in attendance, but the sports world is very familiar with one person in particular who was there.

Robert Kraft was at the dinner, and even got a personal shoutout from Trump during his speech. He didn’t stop there, though. Trump also mentioned Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, who are set to square off against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game on Sunday.

“In the audience, we have somebody that’s under no pressure whatsoever,” he said, “Because he’s got a great quarterback named Tom Brady, and a great coach, and a great coach named BelichickBob Kraft. So good luck, Bob. Your friend Tom just called. He feels good. He called to congratulate us. He feels good. Good luck. You’re going to do great things.”
