In an interview on Fox before the game, Trump said Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes "really knows how to win" and complimented his wife because she's a MAGA fan: "I watched this great quarterback who, by the way, has a phenomenal wife. She's a Trump fan, she's a MAGA fan, so I happen to love her."
