    Donald Trump kept with tradition in inviting the Super Bowl champions to the White House in 2025.  The Philadelphia Eagles took down the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in February to stamp their invite.

    However, quarterback Jalen Hurts was one of the few that chose not to attend.  Trump had something to say about the quarterback regardless.

    Hurts missed the event due to a scheduling conflict, while his teammates AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith also didn’t attend.  Trump still had a lot to say about the star quarterback:

    During the brief ceremony on the South Lawn, President Trump praised the Eagles for their fantastic season, which ended with a decisive 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

    “Complementing Saquon’s historic season was an incredible year for a star quarterback, Jalen Hurts. He really played; he had a great season and a great game. Finished with 32 [combined passing and rushing] touchdowns on the year, turning in one stellar performance after another, terrific guy,” Trump said during the Eagles’ visit.

    Additionally, he couldn’t resist throwing in a bit of humor. Trump nodded to the team’s famous “tush push” play and called running back Saquon Barkley “a handsome guy” whom he wouldn’t want to tackle.

    The crowd enjoyed that one for sure.
