Trump Says Kansas City Chiefs Will Visit White House 5 Years After Their 2020 Super Bowl Win
President Donald Trump is making plans to host the Kansas City Chiefs five years after they won the Super Bowl. On Saturday, March 22, he was joined aboard Air Force One by the founder of the sports website Outkick, Clay Travis. When discussing plans for the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House on April 28 following this year's Super Bowl victory, Trump shared that they aren't the only team he's planning to host. 'I look forward to having the Eagles,' Trump said. 'And one other thing, we're going to have the Kansas City Chiefs after that, because they missed their turn because of COVID.' Trump didn't share the date that the team is expected to visit the White House.

Trump had predicted the Chiefs would win this year's Super Bowl while speaking to Fox News prior to the game on Feb. 9, but also praised the Eagles' Saquon Barkley. The Eagles went on to beat the Chiefs 40-22, and speculation arose soon after that the team wouldn't make the customary visit to the White House, after they declined a trip following their Super Bowl win in 2018. 'Well, actually, [the Eagles] did want to come," Trump claimed to Travis of their 2018 choice not to go. "A lot of people wanted to come, including the coach [Doug Pederson] — terrific guy, by the way — but the coach wanted to come."

A lot of people wanted to come. Some of the players wanted to come. And I just said, 'Just forget it,' right?' "I also had a problem with the San Francisco basketball team,' he added, referring to the Golden State Warriors opting not to visit the White House following their 2016-17 NBA championship win. Trump told Travis, 'They said, 'Well, we'll think about it.' I said, 'You don't have to think, you're uninvited.' ' Read the original article on People

President Trump Vows to Send Elon Musk's DOGE to Probe Department of Education and Military: ‘We Will Find Hundred of Billions of Dollars of Fraud'
In the 20 days since Donald Trump took office, he has unleashed a whirlwind of activity designed to cut government spending and slash the federal workforce. According to his pre-Super Bowl interview on Fox News, the campaign won't stop anytime soon. While speaking to Fox News anchor Bret Baier Sunday ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Trump said he plans to send Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency into the U.S. Military and the Department of Education, possibly within the next '24 hours.' More from Variety David Schwimmer Asks Elon Musk to Ban Kanye West From X For 'Spewing Hate Filled, Ignorant Bile' On the Platform: 'Stop Giving Him a Megaphone' 'The Floor' Host Rob Lowe on Landing Sunday's Post-Super Bowl Slot: 'Single Most Valuable Piece of Real Estate in the Media Business' President Trump Says He Will Fire Kennedy Center Board Members and Name Himself Chairman When asked if he trusted Musk and his efforts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development, Trump responded, 'Trust Elon? He is not gaming anything. I wonder how he can devote the time to [DOGE]. He is so into it. I'll tell him very soon, maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He is going to find the same thing [as USAID]. Then I will go to the military. Let's check the military. We will find hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse.' Trump doubled down on his previous promises to abolish the Department of Education days after news broke that he is preparing an executive order that would eliminate the federal department established by Congress in 1979, according to multiple news sources. Defense spending is a newer target for Trump, with the 47th president first announcing at a Friday press conference that Musk's DOGE will soon be looking to cut down at 'the Pentagon, which is the military,' per the New York Times. Although Trump has made many promises about the far-reaching power of DOGE, not all attempts at increasing its influence have been successful. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on Saturday blocked DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department's payment system, citing the potential for 'irreparable harm,' per CNN. 'I disagree 100%. I think it's crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem,' Trump told Baier of the Treasury ruling. 'We have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse, all the things that have gone in government.' Baier pressed Trump on whether 'significant things' had been found through DOGE's investigations of organizations like USAID. Trump responded, 'We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money that's going to places shouldn't be going. If I read a list, you would say this is ridiculous. You've read the same lists. There are many you haven't even seen. It's crazy. It's a big scam.'
