It's safe to say we know who Brett Favre will be voting for next year.

The Hall of Fame quarterback said earlier this week that the United States was in a "better place" when former President Trump was in office.

Favre, who noted he does not identify himself as "Republican, Democrat, or Independent," say he didn't agree with "everything Donald Trump does or says" and criticized his use of Twitter. But at the end of the day, he feels Trump makes the better president between him and President Biden.

"I think our country was in better shape with him…" he said on the Jason Whitlock on the "Fearless" podcast. "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.

"Black, white, Hispanic, Asian — you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don't know if our current president has the same mentality."

The pair also discussed the continued transgender debate, with Favre saying biological males should not "use the restroom with girls."
