Donald Trump is making waves once again, bringing back a Super Bowl tradition that had been absent in recent years. While many have forgotten the days of presidential pregame interviews, Trump is set to remind everyone why they were part of the excitement. As the Super Bowl prepares to air on Fox, Trump sat down with Bret Baier for an interview that will broadcast on February 9 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Just think: while everyone else is chomping down on buffalo wings, they’ll also get to savor some political scoops straight from the former president himself.
This isn’t just for show; Trump’s comments are expected to touch on the tough policies he’s implemented to combat issues like the exploding fentanyl crisis and illegal immigration—topics that are sure to ruffle some feathers. From tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China to other key strategies, Trump isn’t shying away from the controversial topics that the mainstream media often glosses over. It’s a welcome change considering the previous occupant of the Oval Office seemed to prefer avoiding public scrutiny altogether, opting out of interviews like a kid skipping gym class.
The tradition of interviewing the sitting president during the Super Bowl has been a hallmark of bipartisan participation since it kicked off in 2004 with George W. Bush. Fast-forward to today, and it seems like current leaders would rather dodge the hard questions. Trump declined an interview with NBC back in 2018, while Biden has skipped his fair share of opportunities as well. If nothing else, it highlights a trend of the current administration avoiding accountability when it matters most.

Fox is embracing this chance, and reports suggest that they are anticipating blockbuster ratings. For those who enjoy a good political discussion alongside their game day festivities, Trump’s return to the pregame arena is a home run. Media chatter has already pinpointed that Fox has sold out all of its ad space for the big day, with some spots fetching an eye-popping $8 million. Just imagine—while Chiefs and Eagles fans are on the edge of their seats for the game, Trump’s pregame interview will offer them a different kind of anticipation.
With the Kansas City Chiefs going head-to-head with the Philadelphia Eagles, football fans are gearing up for a showdown. However, the real entertainment lies in what Trump will say. Given his recent one-on-one with Sean Hannity, where topics included Biden’s pardons and serious threats against his life, fans are in for a treat. It promises to be less about politics and more about a battle of wits that will stir conversations long after the final whistle blows on the field.
