Donald Trump won’t attend the Super Bowl because he’s afraid of being booed

Last year, Donald Trump waddled out to the Super Bowl and his dinosaur butt got booed. He continued to attend sporting events though, and the boos just kept getting louder and louder. Well, last week, Trump was asked if he planned to attend this year’s Super Bowl, which is being held in Santa Clara. At first, he whined like a f–king baby about Bad Bunny and Green Day, but then he admitted the real reason why he wouldn’t attend the SB: “It’s just too far away. I would. I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me. I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.” Trump can’t handle a cross-country flight from DC to California? What is that flight time in Air Force One, like three hours? If you ask me, it should be a national scandal that Trump admitted that his weak, pitiful body couldn’t handle a cross-country flight. But what if that’s only one of the real reasons why Trump isn’t going to the Super Bowl?

Donald Trump will not be attending the Super Bowl after being warned he would likely be resoundingly booed by the crowd inside the stadium, according to a report. The thin-skinned president had previously offered the unlikely excuse that he would not attend the NFL championship game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots on Sunday in Santa Clara, California, because it was “too far away” and because he disliked the planned performers, Bad Bunny and Green Day.

However, several of Trump’s advisers have now told Zeteo that the 79-year-old was urged not to attend the game in the deep-blue Democratic state because he would likely receive a less-than-friendly reception. Clips of Trump being loudly booed in front of tens of thousands of spectators—and potentially more than 100 million viewers at home—going viral would be “another thing we don’t want right now,” one Trump adviser told Zeteo.

Trump was met with a mixture of boos and cheers when he attended last year’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. But since then his approval ratings have plummeted across the board, with the president losing support over his handling of the economy and his hardline immigration policies, particularly in the wake of the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Trump’s dire polling numbers, combined with the Super Bowl being held in a state that has overwhelmingly rejected him in the past three presidential elections, led one aide to conclude it was “best to stay away from this one.”

“Whatever [the crowd’s makeup] ends up being, it’s not gonna be a Turning Point USA speech,” the aide said.

Just a few weeks ago, Trump was booed to hell and back at a Washington Commanders game, so this checks out. That game was probably a dry run to see if Trump could handle attending the Super Bowl. Of course, I also believe that Trump is too weak to handle a flight to California! I wonder what Gavin Newsom would have done if Trump turned up at the Super Bowl though. I feel like Newsom would have planned some kind of stunt.

    He just went to Davos, so he’s perfectly capable of doing the flight to California. This is all about the crowd reception. Even his Swiss cheese dementia-addled brain realizes it won’t go well!

  2. No he doesn’t like being booed but I think ice will be there and it could get really ugly!!!

  3. Sue says:

    And Bad Bunny and Green Day will play to resounding cheers. He is so sad and fragile.

  4. Isabella says:

    He goes to Mar A Lago constantly. He can get to Cali. He’s just scared. He doesn’t want to get booed in front of the whole world. Nobody wants him there.

  5. FYI says:

    After that racist tweet he posted, I would assume the boos would be very, very loud — even from the field. Too bad we’ll miss that.

    The average Joe has to travel to the airport in a timely manner, wait in lines to check in, drag their carry-on luggage while traipsing through the airport and onto the plane, disembark while dragging said luggage, go to baggage claim, etc. It’s a tiresome process. Trump has everything done for him AND he flies on a plane which contains a bedroom just for him. It’s a lot easier and less tiresome for him to travel cross country.

  7. bisynaptic says:

    He doesn’t want to get booed and he doesn’t want to have to watch Bad Bunny.

    I hope that Green Day gains a whole new generation of fans this weekend. I was a teen when American Idiot dropped and that the band roped in so many new, younger millennial fans with that album was seen as unusual. Most people thought their glory days were behind them.

  9. Truthiness says:

    He damn well knows he’s getting booed far more than a year ago.

    As I said before, if he went to this, they’d hear the boos on the space station, but I am genuinely worried about ICE raids. The tickets are insanely expensive and probably not a lot of undocumented immigrants attend the Super Bowl. Plenty probably work in various local capacities, though, and are likely not coming to work until the event is over. But we know ICE doesn’t really care about legal status. And there will be plenty of people at the game who aren’t of 100% Western/Northern European ancestry. Please stay safe everyone!
