Donald Trump has arrived at the biggest show on earth.
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to win an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl in New Orleans.

And the commander in chief couldn’t resist making his own history as the first sitting president to attend the NFL finale.
“While thousands of fans from across our nation gather in New Orleans to cheer on their favorite team, we remember that 14 families will be missing a loved one who was tragically murdered during a senseless terrorist attack while celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street,” Trump said in a statement before heading to the game.
“Our thoughts are also with the 35 individuals injured during the attack whose lives were changed forever that fateful night, and our prayers will remain with them for continued strength, comfort, and healing.”
Trump gave a pre-game interview to Fox News’ Bret Baier, giving a rundown of his whirlwind return to the Oval Office in January.
The commander in chief has been busy but found time to play a round with Tiger Woods as well as the golf great’s son Charlie, in Florida.
Per multiple reports, they took to the course at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Florida, before Trump flew to the Big Easy over the renamed Gulf of America — the Proclamation was signed on the flight.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is ready to put on a show for his country’s leader.
“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president,” he said. “Someone that is at the top position in our country.”
And the respect seems to be mutual as Trump said he is rooting for a three-peat when asked who he would support.
“I watched this great quarterback who has, by the way, a phenomenal wife,” the President told Baier.

“She’s a MAGA fan, so I happen to love her. But she’s a great person.”
“It’s cool to hear that he’s seen me play football and respects the game that I play,” Mahomes commented.
Teammate Travis Kelce is also hyped.
“I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life,” he beamed.
“Having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool.”
Woods has his own business to jet off for as he makes his eagerly-awaited PGA Tour return at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California.

PGA commissioner Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott met with Trump at the White House earlier this week as they try to unify the game and bring the breakaway LIV Golf tour back on board.
A joint statement from the pair and Woods read: “We know golf fans are eagerly anticipating a resolution to negotiations with the [Saudi] Public Investment Fund and want to thank President Trump for his interest and long-time support of the game of golf.
“We asked the President to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country, and for all the countries involved.
“We are grateful that his leadership has brought us closer to a final deal, paving the way for reunification of men’s professional golf.”
It is unlikely Woods was able to be involved at the meeting itself after he revealed the tragic news that his mother had passed away on Tuesday.
He confirmed the news in a heartbreaking statement on social media.
“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” Woods wrote.
“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable.
“She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.
“She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.
“Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom.”
