Donald Trump stated what most New England Patriots fans already agree on: Tom Brady is the GOAT.

Actually, Trump simply said "Tom is the greatest" when TMZ caught up with the 2016 United States presidential candidate Wednesday morning in the nation's capital.

Greatest quarterback? Greatest golfer? Greatest human? D) All the above?

Whatever the case, it's obvious Trump is a big fan of Brady. And the respect is mutual.

Brady acknowledged Tuesday he's good friends with Trump, who supported the Patriots quarterback throughout his Deflategate case, and that he's known the polarizing entrepreneur since 2002.

A Trump-themed "Make America Great Again" hat even was spotted in Brady's locker recently, though the future Hall of Famer hasn't said to this point whether or not he's voting for Trump.
