The polarizing Commander-in-Chief — who has attended sporting occasions previously akin to skilled soccer video games and UFC fights — mentioned within the Oval Workplace on Friday that he’ll NOT be attending this yr’s matchup between convention winners within the NFL.
There seems to be two causes for this determination.
“It’s simply too far-off. I’d. I’ve gotten nice fingers for the Tremendous Bowl, they like me,” Trump mentioned in an interview with the New York Submit on January 23. “I’d go if, you already know, it was a bit bit shorter.”

The music producer then teased the non-Spanish audio system, telling them they wanted to review the language to benefit from the upcoming efficiency.
“For those who didn’t perceive what I simply mentioned. You have got 4 months to study,” he quipped.
After the artists had been introduced in October, Trump instructed NewsMax he’s “by no means heard of” Unhealthy Bunny, who has almost 84 million month-to-month listeners on Spotify, calling the selection “ridiculous.”
Inexperienced Day’s lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, has additionally referred to as out Trump’s administration as a “fascist authorities,” telling his viewers at a live performance:
“It’s as much as us to combat again.”
