Trump wore a navy blue suit with a bright yellow tie to meet with Cousins, who left the Minnesota Vikings for the Falcons in free agency last offseason. 

Trump and Cousins have a relationship that goes back to Cousins' time with the Vikings. Trump called Cousins after a 28-10 win by Cousins' Vikings over the New York Giants in October 2019. 

A spokesperson for the Vikings confirmed to a local station that Trump called Cousins to "briefly congratulate him and the Vikings on the win in New York."

Trump was scheduled for a rally in Minneapolis for the 2020 election when Cousins defeated the Giants on "Monday Night Football."
