Trump praised the team for their 14-3 regular season and playoff run behind running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts, who skipped Monday’s celebration.
“The Eagles have turned out to be an incredible team, an incredible group,” Trump said.
Trump attended the Philadelphia Eagles’ decisive Super Bowl victory in New Orleans over the Kansas City Chiefs. He predicted ahead of the game the Chiefs would win and offered lavish praise for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
After the game, Trump mocked pop star Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift faced boos from some fans at one point during the game when she appeared on the jumbotron.
Trump referenced the moment at Monday’s White House ceremony.
“I watched in person, I was there along with Taylor Swift,” Trump said. “How did that work out?” Swift endorsed Trump’s 2024 Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.
