Following Donald Trump's win in the presidential election on Tuesday, Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett decided to put the victory into perspective for his toddler daughter, Jett.

Bennett may not have had that discussion with his 2-year-old daughter, but he did write her an open letter via Instagram following Trump's improbable victory over Hillary Clinton, asking the question, "How will this affect my future?"
