President Trump Jokes with Team, Ivanka Weighs In
President Trump, never one to shy away from humor, took the opportunity to throw jabs at NFL rivals. He poked fun at Taylor Swift over her team’s Super Bowl loss and also criticized the New York Giants for trading Saquon Barkley to Philadelphia, calling Barkley his “new buddy.”
Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts was notably absent from the event, with the White House citing “scheduling conflicts” as the reason.
“Celebrating with champions at the White House today!” Ivanka said on her Instagram post. “Congratulations to the [Eagles] on an amazing season and Super Bowl win!
“My highlight of the day? Theo challenging [Barkley] to a race in the Rose Garden after my father wisely demurred! Thanks, Saquon, for being such a great sport!”
