Trump Has Trumpiest Response To Kansas City Chiefs' 3rd Straight Super Bowl
The president did the predictable.
Donald Trump on Sunday tried ā as he often does when it comes to big news events ā to make the NFL playoffs all about himself.
The Kansas City Chiefsā 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills ā which set up the Chiefs for a third straight Super Bowl appearance ā prompted the president to post on his Truth Social platform:

āCongratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers.ā
Trump also hailed the Billsā ātremendous seasonā and said the team āwill do a lot of winning long into the future!!!ā

The Chiefs will seek a third Super Bowl victory in a row with the teamās Feb. 9 clash against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Trump has a history, of sorts, with both sides of the 2025 Super Bowl.
When the Chiefs made the teamās second Super Bowl in a row in 2024, figures on the right ran with a conspiracy theory that it was all part of a sprawling Democratic attempt to somehow throw the 2024 election in favor of President Joe Biden, who was still seeking reelection at the time. The made-up plot involved Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
