Sports and politics rarely interact, but Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs has become a rare exception after he started getting romantically involved with one of the biggest personalities in the world.
The star tight end has gotten more international attention after he started dating Taylor Swift throughout the 2023 season. And with the pop sensation not being shy about her political activities, it was only a matter of time before top politicians took notice.
This time, it was a former president of the United States who shared his opinion on Kelce, and his two cents might be surprising even to the most ardent Chiefs fan.
Donald Trump praises Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce
Former US president Donald Trump is one of the most divisive personalities in American society who isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts with the rest of the population.
He’s been clear about his thoughts on his girlfriend, but he shares an interesting take on the charismatic 34-year-old, as reported by The Spun’s Andrew Holleran:
Trump has made it clear that he’s a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, despite his likely political leanings.
“I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!” Trump said of Kelce back in February.
Fans were understandably surprised with how warmly the former Commander-in-Chief thought of the tight end who caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five TDs last season:
“What year did taking someone’s political affiliation into account to determine if you LIKE someone or not? I realize this has been a thing, but why?” one fan wrote.
“Spirit of sportsmanship from Donald Trump,” one fan wrote.
Will Kelce remain in the Chiefs spotlight for longer?
The New Heights host is enjoying life after winning his third Super Bowl ring and establishing the Chiefs dynasty with Patrick Mahomes.
However, it’s also undeniable that he’s getting up there in age. His numbers, while impressive for his age, may be an indication that his best years are behind him. The fact that there are already rumors about possible heirs to his position is an indicator that his time in the NFL limelight might not be for long.
