Donald Trump's comments to fans at the Super Bowl have been revealed by a lip reader. In a historic move, Trump became the first sitting US President to grace the Super Bowl with his presence, soaking up the electric vibe at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday. Trump was spotted mingling with the crowd, offering handshakes and friendly greetings like "Are you happy?" and "How ya doing? Good luck", as interpreted by a lip reader.
His arrival caused a stir, though not all eyes caught him immediately as attention on the stadium screens was focused on the Philadelphia Eagles' pre-game activities. However, Trump seized the opportunity to merge sports fervour with his political goals. In a pre-recorded chat with Bret Baier on Fox News before the game, he confidently backed the Kansas City Chiefs. "I think they'll pull it off," he said. "Great team, great coach.".
In a bold move signaling his future plans, Trump also mentioned his directive for Elon Musk, head of the new Department of Government Efficiency, to scrutinize both the military and the Department of Education "very soon.". Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, pegged by Trump for director of national intelligence and seen donning an Eagles cap, remained tight-lipped regarding her confirmation. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was asked about the crowd's reaction to Trump. Her brief reply, coupled with a smile, was "Good, right?".
In the same interview on Fox, Trump also doubled down on his comments about annexing Canada. He said: "I think Canada would be much better off being the 51st state because we lose $200billion a year with Canada. And I'm not going to let that happen.". Trump also trolled Taylor Swift after she was booed inside the stadium. He wrote on Truth Social: "The only one that had [sic] a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!".
