Patrick Mahomes Responds to Trump’s Super Bowl Praise.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 29, is making headlines ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs will battle the Philadelphia Eagles for a third consecutive championship. During a pre-game press conference on February 5, Mahomes shared his thoughts on recent comments made by President Donald Trump, who praised Mahomes' skills on the football field.
When asked about Trump's remarks, Mahomes said, “It’s cool to hear” that the former president, who is set to attend the game in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, appreciates his talent. Trump had been questioned about the upcoming Super Bowl match-up and declined to pick a side. Instead, he expressed admiration for Mahomes, saying, "There's a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner."

Although Mahomes hadn’t seen the clip at the time, he was pleased to know that Trump had been watching his games. "It's great to know that he appreciates the sport and what I do," Mahomes added.
When asked about the possibility of playing in front of a sitting president at the Super Bowl, Mahomes expressed enthusiasm, saying, "Yeah, I mean it’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president, someone that is at the top position in our country."
Mahomes' teammate, Travis Kelce, was also asked about the potential for Trump’s attendance. The 35-year-old tight end shared similar sentiments: "That's fantastic. It's a real privilege. Regardless of who the president is, I’m thrilled because this is the biggest game of my life."

While Mahomes is excited about the opportunity to play in front of the president, he has been consistent about steering clear of political endorsements. In a statement made earlier in September 2023, Mahomes said, “I don’t want my place or my platform to be used to endorse a candidate either way. I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family.”
Mahomes has continued to stay neutral in political discussions, despite his wife Brittany's social media activity, which included liking one of Trump’s Instagram posts earlier in the year. The move sparked mixed reactions online but did not sway Mahomes' stance on politics.
As Mahomes prepares to lead the Chiefs into the 2025 Super Bowl, it’s clear that he remains focused on the game, his team, and his role as a sports ambassador.
Donald Trump attended Super Bowl LIV in Miami in February 2020, where he made a high-profile appearance as a VIP guest. He attended the game alongside his wife, Melania Trump, and other notable figures. The event took place at the Hard Rock Stadium, and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a thrilling 31-20 victory.

During his time at the Super Bowl, Trump did not make many public remarks on the game itself but enjoyed the spectacle. His presence generated plenty of attention, with many observers focusing on the political significance of the event. Trump also attended the game in the context of his broader public appearances during the period, as his administration sought to align itself with the entertainment industry and high-profile sporting events.
Trump shared some thoughts on social media following the event, posting on Twitter to express his excitement: "Great game, great people, and great fun at the #SuperBowl. Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs!" His attendance added a touch of glamour to the event, but his presence also sparked mixed reactions, with some praising it as a display of national unity, while others saw it as controversial.
