Trump Scores a Political Touchdown at the Super Bowl
(Estimated reading time: 5 minutes) (By Juan Maqueda) Can a sporting event transcend the game and become a political stage? The answer is a resounding yes. And no one understood this better than Donald Trump, the first sitting U.S. president to step onto the hallowed turf of the Super Bowl. In 2025, Trump changed the game, not with a touchdown pass, but with a strategic appearance at Super Bowl LIX. His presence at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, beyond the sporting spectacle, was a masterful political branding play.
