Becoming the first-ever American president in office to attend a Super Bowl, Donald Trump showed up at the Caesars Superdrome on Monday (February 10, 2025 as per India time) for the hotly-awaited tussle between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. (More Sports News)

After flying from Florida to New Orleans, accompanied by daughter Ivanka Trump, the Republican president met players in the traditional coin toss after he arrived at the venue, including relatives of victims of a deadly New Year’s Day terrorist attack in the historic French Quarter. He had started the day on the golf course with the legendary Tiger Woods.

While the USA president did find some critics as is customary, he drew loud cheers amid some boos from the audience at the Super Bowl. In addition to Ivanka, his entou🔯rage included his son Eric and Eric’s wife, and many Republican leaders.

Trump and Co were escorted to a suite at the Superdome, where he was seen standing for the national anthem and saluting. Asked for his game prediction, Trump lauded the quarterbacks of both teams before saying that he would go with Kansas City based on the record of their star quartꦐerback, Patrick Mahomes — who, he added, had “a phenomenal wife” (Brittany Mahomes) who happened to be a “Trump fan.”

It is another matter that the Eagles' charged-up defence denied Mahomes and the Chi✃efs a historic three-peat, winning the contest by a massive 40-22 margin.
