Tate’s commercials ran until 2005 and he disappeared from the screen until 2008 when a series of videos ran urging Americans to vote.

The office linebacker returns in “Terry Tate makes American Great” as he takes issue with Trump’s “locker room talk.”

The scene begins with the infamous 2005 Trump tape where he can be heard talking to Billy Bush on a bus.

The video continues to roll in normal fashion until Tate makes a trademark crushing tackle on Trump before saying, “That’s how Terry Tate makes America great baby.”
