In the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9, 2025, a rumor that U.S. President Donald Trump blamed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and pop music superstar Taylor Swift for the Chiefs' 18-point loss circulated on social media.

In Sunday’s interview, Trump wasn’t only focused on the Chiefs. He said the Eagles have a “great quarterback,” though he did not name Jalen Hurts in the portion of the interview aired during the Fox pregame show. Trump also dubbed 2024 Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley “a great running back.”

Donald Trump made history by attending Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana. The controversial POTUS and Taylor Swift hater is the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl. Trump made his way to the Caesars Superdome where he will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
