The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 40-22, stopping the Chiefs from achieving a three-peat championship. The event was marked by massive celebrations, with Eagles fans filling the streets. Another major moment was the current President Donald Trump attending the game, making history as the first sitting U.S. president to be present at a Super Bowl.
Trump’s visit was politically significant, especially since President Biden did not participate in the traditional pre-Super Bowl interview last year. Trump left at halftime but made headlines by engaging with the public and discussing economic policies, including proposed tariffs on steel and aluminum. Experts note that the Super Bowl is not just a sports event—it is a massive cultural and political platform, with millions of viewers tuning in. The report highlights how the NFL dominates American media, making it an ideal event for public figures to gain visibility.
