Trump Manages to Make Chiefs’ Super Bowl Return All About Him
Everywhere President Donald Trump looks, he sees MAGAfest Destiny—including, apparently, the NFL Playoffs.
After the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in a nail-biter on Sunday, earning them a trip to the Super Bowl for the third year in a row, Trump posted what began as a nice congratulatory note—but quickly veered off into self-aggrandizement.
“Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers.”
He also congratulated the losing Buffalo Bills on a “tremendous season,” though he was conspicuously quiet about the team that will be facing off against the Chiefs on Feb. 9, the Philadelphia Eagles.
During his first term, Trump canceled a planned White House visit with the 2018 Super Bowl champion Eagles after some of the players decided to boycott the event. He claimed they were uninvited was because Eagles players had kneeled to protest police brutality instead of standing during the National Anthem—even though none of the Eagles kneeled.
Last year, when the Kansas City Chiefs made their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years, the MAGAverse—including failed DOGE co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy—went nuts with conspiracy theories claiming the Deep State was rigging the NFL.
That way pop megastar Taylor Swift—who has been dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since 2023—could make a surprise endorsement of then-President Joe Biden in front of an audience of 127 million football fans.
Not surprisingly, that endorsement never materialized, though Swift did take to Instagram seven months later to declare her support for Kamala Harris after Biden dropped out of the race.
That apparently didn’t stop Trump from cheering on the Chiefs on Sunday, though in a separate post, he admitted he hadn’t caught much of the game. He was too busy watching Mark Levin praise him as the greatest conservative of all time on his Fox News show Life, Liberty and Levin.
