President Donald Trump is set to deliver a report on his first 100 days in office during the Super Bowl pregame show. The interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier was recorded at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and will cover the changes made by the president since taking office three weeks ago. In a preview clip released before the interview, Trump mentioned plans to task tech mogul Elon Musk, heading the new Department of Government Efficiency, with reviewing the military and Department of Education. Trump expressed his aim to uncover significant fraud and misuse of funds.
President Trump will also make history by attending the Super Bowl in New Orleans, marking the first time a sitting president has attended the NFL’s championship game. The game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will kick off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Trump is expected to arrive at the Casears Superdome in New Orleans around 3:50 p.m., with appearances on the field slated for 4 p.m. Joining the president at the game will be notable figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson and New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce expressed his excitement at playing in front of Trump, calling it a great honor. Kelce’s sentiments come despite Trump’s previous criticism of his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
Trump revealed his trust in Elon Musk to streamline federal spending. Musk, overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency, will focus on cost-cutting measures at the Education Department and the Pentagon. Despite previous controversies, Trump praised Musk’s dedication to the task.
Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security shared a video on social media detailing safety measures in place to safeguard the 100,000 individuals expected to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Enhanced security measures have been implemented in New Orleans in preparation for the upcoming Super Bowl. This comes in response to a tragic incident where a supporter of ISIS drove a truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day, resulting in the loss of 14 lives. The attack also led to the postponement of the college Sugar Bowl at the Caesars Superdome for one day.
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, affirmed the commitment to ensuring a safe environment for all attendees at the upcoming event. The Secret Service has also stepped up recruitment efforts, with a video showcasing their history of protecting significant individuals and events, including past Super Bowls and historical moments like the assassination attempts on Presidents Reagan and Trump, as well as the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
President Donald Trump expressed his anticipation of joining fans at the Super Bowl to witness the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. He highlighted the values of national unity and patriotism that the event symbolizes, emphasizing the importance of coming together in the face of adversity.
Before the Super Bowl, President Trump enjoyed a round of golf with professional golfer Tiger Woods at his club in Palm Beach, Florida. Meanwhile, flight restrictions due to the president’s travel prevented South Carolina women’s basketball coach, Dawn Staley, an Eagles fan, from attending the game. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the temporary flight restrictions in place during Trump’s visit to New Orleans.
