Donald Trump at the Super Bowl: With daughter Ivanka at the final of the NFL

It was a historical moment in the superdome of New Orleans: For the first time in the history of the Super Bowl, Donald Trump (78), an incumbent US president inspected the NFL final live in the stadium. Around an hour before the start of the game, the 78-year-old initially entered the lawn of the stadium almost unnoticed. There he greeted the audience before the game of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, but was not yet shown on the video screen.

The Republican’s big appearance followed during the national anthem, which was performed by US singer Jon Batiste (38). When Trump could be seen on the video screens on how he followed the moment at the side of his daughter Ivanka Trump (43), the moment the stadium broke up applause, which could only be drowned out by boo calls. Ivanka Trump posted the Air Force One a few hours before the kick -off, as made his way to New Orleans with her father.

The president and his daughter followed the game between the chiefs and the Eagles (final score 44:20 for the Eagles) from the lodge of Gayle Benson (78). The billionaire is the owner of the football team New Orleans Saints and had invited Trump to the final. In a pre-recorded interview with Fox Sports, the President had predicted a victory of the chiefs-but less for sporting reasons: “I looked at this great quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has a phenomenal woman. She is a Trump fan and Maga fan. I love her. “

For Trump, an eventful sports day ended, which had started with a morning golf round with superstar Tiger Woods (49) in Mar-A-Lago. With his visit to the stadium, he sat down from his officials: so far, only Vice President had followed the Super Bowl live. Barack Obama announced a visit in 2011, but his Chicago Bears missed the qualification for the final.

The president’s visit also had a massive impact on the security architecture around the superdome. While football fans otherwise get to the stadium relatively easily, they had to pass several checkpoints this time. The Secret Service took over the admission controls, far -spacious roadblocks converted the environment of the 75,000 spectators into a high -security zone.
