Trump has not clarified if he is rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles. However, while speaking with reporters on February 4 in the White House, the president seemingly complimented Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes while declining to predict a winning team.
“I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner,” Trump said.
The president previously congratulated the Chiefs on their AFC Championship win in a social media post, calling them a “GREAT team.”
