President Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl on Sunday in an interview that aired just before kickoff.

“I guess, you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he’s won, I have to go with Kansas City. I have to go with Kansas City. At the same time, Philadelphia has a fantastic game, it's going to be a great game,” Trump told Fox News’s Bret Baier.

Trump said he’s “a big fan of both teams,” referring to the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles

Trump praised Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, saying he “really knows how to win,” and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, who has suggested on social media that she supports Trump.

“I’ve watched this great quarterback who has, by the way, a phenomenal wife, OK? She’s a Trump fan. She’s a MAGA fan. So, I happen to love her, OK. But she’s a great person. … She’s great and he’s great,” he said.

The president gave some credit to Eagles players too, calling running back........
