Trump heads to New Orleans as first sitting president to attend Super Bowl NFL replaces ‘End Racism’ written into end zone with ‘Choose Love’ before Trump’s arrival at Louisiana stadium.
Trump also noted the 14 deaths and 35 injuries from the truck attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day: “We remember that 14 families will be missing a loved one who was tragically murdered during a senseless terrorist attack while celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street.”.
Donald Trump is due to give himself a term report on his contentious first three weeks in office at tonight’s Super Bowl while becoming the first sitting president to attend the NFL’s title game between the Philadelphia Eagles and two-time defending championship winning Kansas City Chiefs.
The US president was expected to arrive at the Caesars Superdome where the game will be held in New Orleans at 3.50pm, according to the White House, and appear on the field about 4pm when he will be joined by House speaker Mike Johnson and New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce told reporters it is “pretty cool” that Trump would attend the game on Sunday, but it is not known how pop star Taylor Swift, also attending the game, may interpret her beau’s endorsement.
