“I think our country was in better shape with him,” Favre told Jason Whitlock on the Fearless podcast, according to Daily Mail.
“I think Donald was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I’m flawed just like the rest of ’em. We’re all flawed. But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country,” he added.

Per Daily Mail:
As the Race for the White House enters its final stretch, the legendary quarterback, who recently revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis, has thrown his support behind the Republican candidate.
The Packers icon, 55, will appear in Wisconsin next week, just days before voters head to the polls on November 5, to address the crowd in Green Bay as a guest speaker, the Trump campaign has announced.
Favre has been a staunch supporter of Trump, endorsing him in 2020 when he ran against Joe Biden, citing the President’s support for the first and second amendment, as well as police and military for his backing.
Last year, the Super Bowl winner claimed that the nation was a ‘better place’ when Trump occupied the Oval Office.

Fox News reports:
In 2020, Favre backed Trump because of his stance on freedom of speech, gun rights and support for the military and police after a summer of racial unrest after the death of George Floyd.
“My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech and religion, the second amendment, hard-working tax-paying citizens, police and military. In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me and these principles, my vote is for [Donald Trump],” Favre wrote on X at the time.
President Trump also received support from former Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown in Pennsylvania.
Brown and former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell joined Trump on stage at his rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
