2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump singled out Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for “so strongly defending” him Wednesday in a post on Truth Social.
“I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country. With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless “leaders,” it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!” Trump wrote.
Social media users noticed in late August that Brittany Mahomes “liked” and “unliked” Trump’s Aug. 13 Instagram post detailing his 2024 GOP platform to “Make America Great Again.” Once word spread, the NFL superstar’s wife responded by saying adult haters have “deep rooted issues.”
“I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” Mahomes wrote on her Instagram Story on Aug. 24. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
