In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump has publicly thanked Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for “so strongly defending” him. The GOP nominee’s praise comes amid an ongoing online debate about the Mahomes’ political affiliations, which has now taken an unexpected twist.
Trump’s Praise for Brittany Mahomes
Taking to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump referred to Brittany as “beautiful” and expressed his gratitude for her support. “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me,” the former president wrote. He went on to praise the “MAGA” movement, calling it “the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country.”
Trump’s comments come in the wake of Brittany’s controversial move last month, when she liked an Instagram post outlining the “2024 GOP Platform.” The post, shared by Trump himself, included controversial proposals such as “the largest deportation operation in American history” and keeping “men OUT of women’s sports.”
Brittany Mahomes’ Political Stance
The 29-year-old former National Women’s Soccer League star’s decision to engage with Trump’s post has sent shockwaves through the football community. Many fans have been left wondering about the Mahomes’ political leanings and the potential impact on their public image.
In his Truth Social post, Trump praised Brittany for her support, stating, “With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM.”
Potential Strain on Taylor Swift Friendship
The former president’s comments about the Mahomes have also raised eyebrows among Taylor Swift fans. The pop superstar, who is friends with Brittany, has previously endorsed the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. With opposing political views between the two women, fans are speculating about the potential strain on their friendship.
One Swiftie expressed their concerns on X, formerly Twitter, writing, “Taylor about to enter football season and NOW brittany mahomes comes out as a trump supporter… i cant remember the last time the taylor nation WASNT in flames i f**ing hate it here.” Another fan suggested, “Can’t wait to see Brittany vs Taylor.”
