President Trump sent a message of congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs after they beat the Buffalo Bills to reach the Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes and his team now stand on the brink of history, with a win in New Orleans enough to make the Chiefs the first time in the Super Bowl era to win three straight titles.
And it sounds like they’ll have the support of the White House against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9.
Writing on truth social, Trump said: ‘Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers.
‘Likewise, congratulations to the Buffalo Bills on a tremendous season. They will do a lot of winning long into the future!!!’
The Chiefs beat the Bills 32-29 at Arrowhead on Sunday night in a gripping AFC Championship showdown.
Trump was publicly backed by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker and long snapper James Winchester before the election.
Brittany Mahomes – the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick – also backed Trump and the Republican party before the election in November, a stance that put her at odds with friend Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift came out and publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, taking a swipe at Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance in the process.
Swift signed her post as ‘childless cat lady’ in reference to Vance describing several Democrats – including Harris – as ‘a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives’.
