Donald Trump to become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl come Sunday
President Donald Trump’s attendance at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans on Sunday will mark a historic moment as he becomes the first sitting commander-in-chief to be present at the NFL’s championship game.
The highly anticipated matchup will see the Kansas City Chiefs aiming for an unprecedented “three-peat” as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, what isn’t unprecedented is Trump’s long and often contentious relationship with the NFL and its players, which dates back to the 1980s. While his current stance on the league appears more aligned, his history with the NFL has been marked by a series of highs and lows over the decades.
Which team is Donald Trump supporting in the Super Bowl?
the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles—a team he feuded with following their 2018 Super Bowl victory after most of the team declined to celebrate at the White House.
It is well known of tensions between Taylor Swift and Donald Trump that have been building for years. Swift made waves in 2018 when she broke her silence by endorsing Democratic candidates in Tennessee—a move that Trump publicly didn’t like at the time. Since then the pair has been on ‘bad terms’
Knowing Swit’s boyfriend Travis Kelce who plays for the Chiefs, the President might have other preferences but then think again as he had his biggest problems with the eagles in 2018.
In June 2018, Donald Trump announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he had rescinded the Philadelphia Eagles’ invitation to visit the White House following their Super Bowl victory. He stated that “only a small number of players decided to come.”
In his post, Trump criticized players who either stayed in the locker room or kneeled during the national anthem as a form of protest against police brutality. His remarks sparked backlash among some conservatives, while players and reporters challenged his claim that the canceled visit was tied to the protests.
Given what he said when asked who will win tomorrow in the video above, we’d expect for President Trump to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs, but it has to be said that the president President will surely be happy for any team that will lift the trophy.
