Former President Donald Trump said that he was not a fan of playing football as a child because someone "from a bad neighborhood" could tackle him.

The Republican presidential nominee made the remarks this week on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast.

"I played football too. I didn't particularly like it," Trump told the podcast. "I could catch the ball good but I didn't particularly like having some guy that was, uh, lifting weights all day long and came from a bad neighborhood. Yeah, and he sees me, and they were tackling hard."
