Super Bowl 59 witnessed a historic moment. For the first time, a President of the United States attended the most important event in American professional sports, and the one responsible for sealing this milestone was none other than Donald Trump.
Received by a great ovation after the anthem, the president met at the Caesars Superdome to watch the Philadelphia Eagles claim the title after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40 to 22.
"To receive the Head of State, 'security measures have been further enhanced this year, given that it will be the first time a sitting U.S. president will attend the event,'" said Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi in a statement.
This is how Donald Trump experienced the Philadelphia Eagles' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl
From his VIP box, where he was seen with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Republican leader, who started the day playing golf with Tiger Woods in Florida, had a very active Sunday and wrote a new chapter in what had been a tense relationship with the NFL, which he has accused of being "too progressive."
With surprise, Trump saw the Philadelphia Eagles win the title, since just hours before he had confessed that he felt he should be on the Chiefs' side and that their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, "knows how to win", so he would have leaned towards his team, in addition to praising Mahomes' wife, Brittany.
The most televised event in the United States, as usual, had several attractions within the show, in addition to Trump’s presence. At halftime, rapper Kendrick Lamar’s performance, with a display of dancers, stole the spotlight. And among the audience, the presence of guests like pop superstar Taylor Swift and soccer star Lionel Messi also took part in the legendary event.
