Former President Donald Trump wasted no time congratulating the Kansas City Chiefs after their thrilling 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills, securing a third consecutive trip to the Super Bowl.
According to TMZ, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to celebrate the Chiefs’ victory with his signature blend of humor and political flair.
“What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers,” Trump wrote. True to form, Trump didn’t miss an opportunity to give a nod to his base in Chiefs Kingdom, where his support has run deep.
Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. What a GREAT Team, Coach, Quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic FANS, that voted for me (MAGA!) in record numbers. Likewise, congratulations to the Buffalo Bills on a tremendous season. They will do a lot…

This isn’t the first time Trump has voiced admiration for the Chiefs—or for Brittany Mahomes, wife of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Brittany publicly backed Trump during his presidential run, a gesture 47 hasn’t forgotten. Trump previously called the Mahomes duo a “great couple,” adding to his appreciation for the team both on and off the field.
While Brittany made her stance clear, Patrick Mahomes has chosen a more neutral path. He’s encouraged civic engagement without aligning with a specific candidate.
Back in September, Mahomes told reporters, “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research, and then make the best decision for them and their family.”
A measured response from the quarterback known for leading drives under pressure.
Despite the Chiefs’ nail-biter win, Trump didn’t leave the Bills Mafia in the cold. He acknowledged their “tremendous season” and predicted brighter days ahead, writing, that they will have a “lot of winning long into the future.”
A gracious sentiment—though undoubtedly easier to deliver when celebrating on the winning side.
As the Chiefs prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, all eyes are on whether the team can bring home another Lombardi Trophy.
Should they succeed, the Chiefs might find themselves heading to the White House, where Trump could personally thank Brittany Mahomes for her support—a moment sure to spark headlines.
With Trump’s signature mix of sports fandom and political bravado, his message to the Chiefs and their fans was as much about celebrating a team as it was about rallying his base.
