American Football: Trump as the first acting US president at the Super Bowl

Donald Trump will be the first acting US president at the Super Bowl in the stadium. This was confirmed by a spokesman for the Secret Service responsible for protecting the 78-year-old. The visit has been prepared for several days. The final of the Football Profiliga NFL between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will take place in New Orleans next Monday (CET).

“The security measures were reinforced again this year, especially since this will be the first time that a reigning president of the United States will be at the event,” said Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

Barack Obama had announced in 2011 to drive to the NFL final if the Chicago Bears should play there. But the team from his previous place of residence left the later champion Green Bay Packers in the semi -finals.

Interview: Trump doesn’t do it like bids

A visit to Trump will strengthen the already high security measures in the city on the Mississippi. During New Year’s Eve, an assassin was raced into a lot on the famous bourbon Street with a pick-up truck. Fourteen people were killed, around three dozen others were injured. The perpetrator, a supporter of the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS), died at a change of shooting with police officers.

Trump will be seen before the game – on TV. The broadcaster Fox News will broadcast an interview with the 78-year-old, which was recorded in advance in his place of residence in Florida. Obama had once introduced this type of interviews, after which Trump and his successor Joe Biden had partially dispensed with.

The Super Bowl is watching around 100 million viewers in the United States every year, it is the world’s largest individual sporting event.
