Donald Trump did not enjoy some of what he saw during Super Bowl 59 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night.
Trump became the first sitting United States president to attend a Super Bowl on the night but probably didn’t have as great a time as he thought he would have after predicting that the Kansas City Chiefs would win and praising their quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, all week.
The Chiefs ended up being dominated and didn’t even get on the score sheet until the second half, with the Philadephia Eagles going into halftime with a 24-0 lead.
Kansas City’s offense was nullified without the Eagles having to blitz. They kept Mahomes off kilter all night and eventually won 40-22, as the former defending champions scored their points when the game was already way out of their reach.
Donald Trump Is Not A Fan Of The New Kickoff Rules
Trump’s complaint had nothing to do with how poorly the Chiefs played; he just hated having to watch the kickoff, branding it “the worst part of the Super Bowl.”
“The worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the Kickoff where, as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff. College Football does not do it, and won’t! Whose idea was it to ruin the Game?” the POTUS posted via his Truth Social social media platform.

While the new rule was introduced to make kickoffs more exciting and prevent injuries, Donald Trump is not a fan.
As to whether or not the NFL will revise it at his behest remains to be seen.
