Trump’s Eagles Invitation: A Flicker of Hope for the Super Bowl Champs
Well, isn’t this a plot twist? Just when you thought the Philadelphia Eagles were set to skip their White House photo op, President Donald Trump swoops in to save the day with a flicker of good ol’ American optimism. On Tuesday, Trump confirmed that he intends to invite the Eagles to the White House—despite some rather sensational reports from across the pond suggesting otherwise. “They will be [invited],” said Trump, while giving a press briefing. “I thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely they’ll be extended that invitation. They deserve to be down here. We hope to see ’em.”
Now, let’s pump the brakes here for a minute. In the grand tapestry of Trump and sports teams, the Eagles have had their fair share of drama. After their Super Bowl LII victory in 2018, things took a nosedive. Trump infamously rescinded the Eagles’ invitation to the White House after several players publicly criticized him. The mood was about as friendly as a skunk at a garden party. But time heals all wounds, right? The current roster boasts fresh faces like Jalen Hurts, who presumably haven’t been privy to the tense relationship from previous years—let’s face it, he was just a college rookie at the time!
In fact, sources close to the team say they never officially turned down an invite—what a relief! Reports floated around that the Eagles even had an internal meeting about the matter, but those seem to have been exaggerated. A separate buzz suggested the Eagles would feel “honored” to visit the White House, which set the stage for Trump to send his invites.
So, what’s next? As fans eagerly await the latest developments, many are probably asking: will there be a big group hug at the White House? That remains to be seen, but for now, the Eagles just might find themselves mingling with the Trump family in the very corridors of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Stay tuned, folks; this soap opera isn’t over yet!
