President Donald Trump arrived at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday and made history as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl. His presence made the event even more special.
However, some moments caused controversy. One of those moments was when Trump shook hands with Chiefs star Chris Jones.
When Donald Trump first entered the Super Bowl field, he took some time to walk around and greet people, shaking hands and talking to them. In the video, it looked like the president didn’t notice Chris Jones behind him.

Then, the camera showed that Chris Jones made a point to speak to the president. He then turned around and shook hands with the 30-year-old star. But some NFL fans didn’t like that handshake and called out Chris Jones on social media.

Meanwhile, some fans, like @Richard15Myers, praised Trump, saying, “That’s a great President. Stopped and turned around to shake Jones’ hand when he was made aware Jones wanted to shake his hand.”

What team did Donald Trump support during Super Bowl 59?
Donald Trump showed support for the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, especially because he liked their coach, Andy Reid, and star player, Patrick Mahomes. In an interview before the game, Trump said he saw good things about both teams, but he decided to back the Chiefs.
He also mentioned that he thought more Chiefs fans voted for him. Meanwhile, Trump has had some disagreements with the Philadelphia Eagles in the past. When he was president from 2017 to 2021, he often criticized the team and its players. Unfortunately, the Chiefs lost the game in a big defeat.
I really hope the rumors are true that the Eagles are going to turn down the invitation to visit Donald Trump after he gaslit the team in 2018 for kneeling to the national anthem when they didn’t and disinvited them from the visiting White House. pic.twitter.com/MT0NgLIV5k
