Donald Trump made history as the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl, watching Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. However, he left before the fourth quarter, sparking debate. Some criticized his exit, with one user commenting, “Donald Trump just left the Super Bowl early after watching KC get walloped after saying he was rooting for them.” Others defended him, stating, “He was always slated to leave early.”

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, winning 40-22. Ticket prices ranged from $2,920 to over $22,000, with VIP packages offering exclusive perks. The halftime show, headlined by Kendrick Lamar, drew attention due to rumors of his feud with Drake.

Trump later voiced frustration over the NFL’s new kickoff rule, which prevents the kicking team from advancing until the receiving team touches the ball. Calling it “the worst part of the Super Bowl,” he asked, “Whose idea was it to ruin the game?”

From the Eagles’ victory to off-field controversies, the night was filled with memorable moments, ensuring its impact lasted well beyond the final whistle.
