“Do us all a favor and please leave immediately,” Samuel wrote in response. “And I will ask you every day if you have left yet.”

Samuel then added additional criticism of Trump to his Bell post.

“It’s a shame, Trump made you attack people,” he added. “Make America Without Trump Again.”

Bell is one of the few current or former professional athletes who have expressed support for Trump. Last month in Pennsylvania, he was with Trump and his former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Antonio Brown at a pro-Trump rally.

He then watched the Steelers win over the Dallas Cowboys with Trump and Brown.

“Basically what I’m trying to say is Trump is real, bro,” Bell said video summary time spent with the former president. “He is real. He didn’t tell me like he was going to let me say anything or nothing, he didn’t say he would call me. He just did it, brother – out of love.

“I get it, he might want to win the election or something, but what I’m trying to tell you is that he didn’t have to do that. I could have screwed it all up… That’s why you shouldn’t do this, understand that Trump is real.”
