Donald Trump makes bold Travis Kelce claim and reveals more details on his pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox

Donald Trump believes Kansas City’s Travis Kelce – or possibly Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert – is the greatest тιԍнт end in football history, according to a pre-Super Bowl post on the President’s own social media network.

‘Two great Quarterbacks in this game,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social, obviously referring to the Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes.

Trump then appeared to reference Saquon Barkley, the Eagles star running back, and Kelce: ‘Also, an unbelievable running back, and the absolute best тιԍнт end in football (Ever!).’

Kelce ranks third in receiving yards and receptions among тιԍнт ends in NFL history, so it’s a safe bet Trump was referring to Mr. Taylor Swift and not the Eagles’ Goedert. Interestingly, Trump’s apparent compliment to Kelce comes four months after declaring his hatred for Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend and a supporter of doomed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

‘I hate Taylor Swift!’ Trump wrote online in September after she revealed her plans to vote for Harris.

For his part, Kelce has remained positive about Trump’s presence at Sunday’s game.

‘It’s a great honor, I think no matter who the President is,’ Kelce told reporters in New Orleans. ‘I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life and having the President there, it’s the best country in the world so it’s pretty cool.’

Trump’s Truth Social post went on to pay respects to Philadelphia’s Nick Sirianni and Kansas City’s Andy Reid: ‘Incredible coaching.’

The President did manage to hammer in a critique of the NFL’s new rules aimed at reducing injuries on kick returns – something he’s decided is counterproductive.

‘If they would only get rid of that really weird looking new Kickoff ‘deal,’ which actually makes football more dangerous, they would be doing everybody, especially the fans, a big favor,’ he continued. ‘ANYWAY, IT WILL BE A GREAT GAME!!!’

Naturally, Trump found a way to plug his upcoming interview on Fox.

‘I’ll be doing the interview, before the game, at 3:00 P.M.,’ he concluded. ‘There hasn’t been one in four years (Gee, I wonder why?).’

Biden skipped interviews for the last two Super Bowls, drawing criticism from Trump, who also skipped one Super Bowl interview during his first administration.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, never missed the chance to speak to Americans on Super Bowl Sunday, doing an interview all eight years he was in office.

Presidents have been addressing the public on Super Bowl Sunday for the better part of the last 20 years, beginning with CBS anchor Jim Nantz’s interview with then-President George W. Bush in 2004.

Speaking on Super Bowl Sunday in 2019, Trump famously said he would have a ‘hard time’ allowing his then-12-year-old son Barron play football due to concussion concerns.

‘I just don’t like the reports that I see coming out having to do with football — I mean, it’s a dangerous sport and I think it’s really tough,’ Trump told CBS. ‘I thought the equipment would get better, and it has. The helmets have gotten far better but it hasn’t solved the problem.

‘I hate to say it because I love to watch football,’ he continued. ‘I think the NFL is a great product, but I really think that as far as my son — well, I’ve heard NFL players saying they wouldn’t let their sons play football. So, it’s not totally unique, but I would have a hard time with it.’

He also took credit for pressuring NFL players to stop kneeling in protest of racist police brutality.

‘But they haven’t been kneeling and they have been respecting the flag and their ratings have been terrific ever since,’ Trump said in 2019 after what turned out to be a slight down year for the NFL’s historical strong viewership.
