Report: President Donald Trump to attend Detroit Lions at Washington Commanders game

President Donald Trump has weekend plans. He will be in attendance for Sunday’s NFL game between the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions, Pat McAfee reported on Friday.

“Sources are telling me that President Donald Trump will be in attendance for this Washington Commanders game in the afternoon against the Detroit Lions,” McAfee said on Friday’s edition of ‘The Pat McAfee Show.’ “He will actually be there to celebrate the Veterans’ Celebration that is taking place at halftime. He’ll be sitting in owner Josh Harris‘ box and he’ll be excited to celebrate the hell out of the greatest sport on earth, American football.”

Trump, who is currently in the midst of his second tenure as President, has attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, the US Open, the FIFA Club World Cup Final and the Ryder Cup in recent years. As the government shutdown continues, the 45th & 47th President of the United States will add Northwest Stadium to his fan card on Sunday.

“We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country,” Commanders Team President Mark Clouse said in a statement. “The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active-duty service members, and their families this Sunday.”

Trump criticized the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny as Super Bowl Halftime performer

Regarding the Super Bowl, Trump has been outwardly critical of the NFL’s decision to select three-time Grammy Award Winner Bad Bunny as the Halftime Show performer at Super Bowl LX in February.

“I’d never heard of him,” Trump said on Greg Kelly Reports. “I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s crazy. Then, they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Roc Nation and the NFL have a partnership in place for the Super Bowl halftime show. As part of the deal, Jay-Z produces the event, which is one of the biggest stages in music. Kendrick Lamar headlined last year’s game in New Orleans, and viewership reached 133.5 million to surpass Michael Jackson as the most-watched ever.

Bad Bunny‘s halftime show will mark the lone act in the United States for the singer, who will primarily play in Europe and Latin America as part of his Debí Tirar Más Fotos tour, which kicked off in December.

He hosted the season premiere of ‘Saturday Night Live’ on Oct. 4 and addressed negative reaction to the announcement during his monologue. He included a message in Spanish, telling viewers they have “four months to learn” what he said if they did not understand.

“You might not know this, but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show, and I’m very happy. I’m very happy, and I think everybody is happy about it, even FOX News,” Bad Bunny said before a reel of clips played. “But, really, I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know that people all around the world that love my music are also happy.”
