Trump Thanks NFL Quaterback’s Wife
On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump took to social media to express his gratitude towards Brittany Mahomes for her outspoken support. Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, stirred up some controversy last month when she liked a post from Trump’s Instagram account. In response to the backlash, Mahomes made a statement on social media without directly addressing the controversy. She remarked that individuals must have “deep rooted issues” from childhood to “hate to see others doing well.”
In a heartfelt message on Truth Social, Trump praised Mahomes, stating, “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me. The MAGA movement remains the most powerful and influential political force in our country, which is sadly struggling under current leadership.” Trump highlighted the pressing issues facing the nation, such as rampant crime, uncontrolled illegal immigration, and soaring inflation, while criticizing the “hapless leaders” in charge. He concluded with, “It’s refreshing to see someone who truly loves our country and is committed to its preservation. What a great couple—looking forward to seeing you both at the Super Bowl!”
The Instagram post in question, which Trump shared on August 13, outlined key points of the Republican Party’s 2024 platform, including securing the southern border, banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports, and deporting “pro-Hamas radicals.”
Trump’s comments come just before the start of the 2024 NFL season, with the Chiefs set to face the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. While Patrick Mahomes has previously avoided political endorsements and emphasized the importance of independent research before voting, his wife’s support has sparked considerable discussion.
Another prominent figure whose endorsement is eagerly anticipated is musician Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift, who endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, has yet to make a public endorsement for the upcoming election but has encouraged voter participation, particularly on Super Tuesday in March.
