Trump Twists Knife With Stinging Barb for Taylor Swift as MAGA Dubs President the Real Winner of Super Bowl 59
In a display of political showmanship that overshadowed the biggest sporting event of the year, President Donald Trump commanded attention at Super Bowl 59, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Trump’s presence marked a historic first, as no sitting president had previously attended a Super Bowl game.
The game itself proved anticlimactic for Kansas City fans, with the Eagles dominating before halftime.
Adding to the evening’s controversies, pop star Taylor Swift reportedly faced jeers when shown on the stadium’s big screen, prompting Trump to post on Truth Social: “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”
His arrival on Air Force One set the stage for a day of calculated political maneuvers, beginning with a pre-game interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that reached millions of viewers.
The strategic media blitz included executive orders signed mid-flight and a series of pointed statements about political rivals, per reports.
The president’s entrance alongside his daughter Ivanka and son Eric drew thunderous applause as they took to the field, greeting players and local law enforcement.
Trump paid special attention to family members of victims from the New Year’s Eve ISIS attack on Bourbon Street and emergency responders, while Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones made a point to approach and shake hands with the president.
The president’s suite became a nexus of political and sports power, hosting an array of notable figures including Saints owner Gayle Benson, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.
Trump’s grandson Theodore joined him for a pre-game sideline stroll, adding a personal touch to the historic appearance.
Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles confirmed the positive reception, simply stating to Daily Mail: “Good, right?”

Prior to the event, Trump had conducted extensive press engagement aboard Air Force One, addressing various policy matters including cuts to university science research and foreign aid, as well as his recent decision regarding security clearances for political rivals.
Daily Mail reported that the day’s events stood in stark contrast to his predecessor Joe Biden, who had declined the traditional Super Bowl interview opportunity the previous year.
Former Barack Obama advisor David Axelrod noted the significance, stating, “A year ago, Biden refused the traditional Super Bowl interview and the unparalleled audience it would have yielded. That bewildering decision was a major sign of trouble. Trump is all over it today.”
Even the commercial breaks reflected the political undertones of the event.
A patriotic US Secret Service advertisement, produced for $2 million with donated air time, featured iconic moments from American history.
The advertisement garnered significant social media attention, particularly for its inclusion of footage related to Trump.

Daily Mail noted that Trump departed the stadium shortly after halftime, but not before the Mahomes family posed for photos with him in his suite.
Podcaster Megyn Kelly later shared a photo with Trump and Don Jr., writing: “Bumped into a true winner at the Super Bowl. Thank you Mr. President!”

The evening proved challenging for several high-profile figures.
Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce struggled to make an impact, while Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s contribution to the victory was relatively subdued.
The halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar reportedly left audiences confused, further cementing the night as one dominated by political rather than athletic or entertainment headlines.
