Saquon Barkley recently found himself in the spotlight after a photo of him with Ivanka Trump and her son Joseph went viral.
The star running back for the Philadelphia Eagles was snapped with the Trump family at the J.P. Morgan Tech Summit.
The image, which featured Barkley sharing a friendly moment with the Trump family, was initially accompanied by a caption from an NFL aggregator account.
It suggested that Barkley is a “big supporter of the Trumps.” However, the statement caught attention, especially given Barkley’s history of remaining neutral in political matters during the lead-up to the 2024 elections.
“Barkley even gave President Trump’s grandson a signed football. Saquon has always been a big supporter of the Trumps,” the post earlier captioned.
In response to the controversy surrounding the post, Barkley requested an edit, leading the aggregator account to remove the claim about his political affiliations. The account later reposted a similar message but omitted the assertion about Barkley’s alleged support for the Trump family.
Saquon Barkley Meets Trump Family While Eagles Still In Mix To Attend White House Celebration
However, Saquon Barkley appears to have no political issues with attending the event. His interactions with the Trump family got the whole internet talking.
He recently shared photos with Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their family during a J.P. Morgan Technology summit.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and Chairman Jeffrey Lurie have addressed the topic, but no players have publicly stated their attendance intentions yet. However, Barkley’s friendly behavior with the Trumps suggests he is likely to attend if his schedule allows.
If Barkley does attend the White House celebration, it may evoke some emotions from fans.
