'Voted for me!' Trump congratulates himself as Chiefs win Super Bowl spot
Donald Trump tried to claim some of the glory after the Kansas City Chiefs punched their ticket to another Super Bowl.
The Chiefs won the AFC Championship for the fifth time in six seasons by hanging on for a 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills and will play for a record third straight Super Bowl win against the Philadelphia Eagles, and the president tried to share some of the spotlight in a social media post.
"Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs," Trump posted on Truth Social. "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 of winning long into the future!!!"
Trump defeated former vice president Kamala Harris 59.5 percent to 40.1 percent in Missouri and by 57.2 percent to 40.1 percent in Kansas, but the Democratic nominee won in the Kansas City area.
The president admitted that he didn't watch the Sunday night game, however, because he made three posts directing his followers to watch Mark Levin's Fox News program that aired at the same time as the AFC championship.
"Katie Pavlich, of wonderful Town Hall, was fantastic on the Mark Levin show tonight," Trump posted. "Likewise Congressman Jim Jordan. What a show!!! I never even got a chance to see much of the football game. Classic journalism, plus!"
