The POTUS has revealed why he’s not attending.
United States President Donald Trump is getting called out after revealing why he won’t attend Super Bowl 60.
Trump attended last year’s Super Bowl, though he dipped out by halftime. The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs rather soundly and, as a result, got to see him at the White House.
The Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will host this year’s big game. According to the POTUS, that’s too far for him.
He told the New York Post the crowd would applaud him if he did make an appearance. However, the flight is just too long.
“It’s just too far away. I would, I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me,” he said. “I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.”
Of course, there’s also the fact that Bad Bunny and Green Day will be performing. Bad Bunny and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong have been critical of Trump in the past. They are also both liberal performers.
“I don’t know who he is,” Trump said after the NFL selected the Puerto Rican as the Halftime Show act last year. “I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Given the above, some fans aren’t buying his reason for refusing to attend the game.
“It’s simple, Trump doesn’t want to get booed out of the stadium. He’ll stick to NASCAR and UFC,” one commented.
“Boycotting Americans performing at an American event. Because you don’t like your fellow Americans. Is so American,” said another.
“He knows that Green Day and Bad Bunny would deliberately provoke him during the pregame in halftime shows,” one user suggested.
“There’s only so much booing a person can take,” someone else offered.
While he won’t be attending, Trump has made his pick for the upcoming showdown between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.
Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban
Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.
It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.
Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.
On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.
Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget
The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić
While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.
Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.
Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.
Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team
Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.
From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.
Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
