President Donald Trump and a long list of VIPs are headed to the Super Bowl in style.
First daughter Ivanka Trump shared her window view from Air Force One in a video posted on X.
“En route to the Super Bowl,” she wrote, posting a video of clear skies seen aboard the presidential jet.
Trump is set to become the first sitting president to watch the Super Bowl as he makes his way to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Other high-profile politicos aboard Air Force One with the president and the first daughter are:
- Son Eric Trump and his wife Lara
- Ivanka’s son
- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum
- House Majority Whip Tom Emmer
- Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick
- South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham
- Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso
- South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott
- Alabama Sen. Katie Britt
- Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville
- Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall
- Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt
- Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn
Once the jet flew made its way over the Gulf of Mexico, which Trump renamed the Gulf of America on this first day in office, the president signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 9th the “Gulf of America Day,” according to Leavitt.
“We’re flying right over it right now,” Trump said. “So we thought this would be appropriate—even bigger than the Super Bowl. This is a big thing.”
“Air Force One is currently in international waters for the first time in history, flying over the recently renamed Gulf of America,” the pilot said. “Please enjoy the flight.”
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum earlier blasted Google over its decision to rename the waterway on its maps platform after Trump’s executive order.
The president also announced new tariffs on steel and aluminum as he spoke to reporters en route to New Orleans.
Trump also said he was upset with judges who blocked controversial moves by his administration, including an executive order putting an end to birthright citizenship and efforts by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to seize the Treasury’s payment system.
“The day you’re not allowed to look for theft and fraud, et cetera, then we don’t have much of a country,” he said. “No judge, frankly, should be allowed to make that kind of a decision. It’s a disgrace.”
The president also doubled down on his desire to claim Canada, claiming that the neighboring country “doesn’t pay very much for military” because “they assume that we’re going to protect them.”
“Think of how beautiful that country could be without that artificial line running way through,” he said.
Trump also continued to insist that the U.S. would “reclaim” and “fix-up” the war-torn Gaza Strip, turning it into “beautiful sites for the people, the Palestinians, to live in. They’ll be living in harmony and peace, relatively, for the first time in hundreds of years.”
As Trump settled into his seat, a number of guests were seen kissing the ring, including right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly and the family of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes.
Other members of Trump’s team happily posed for photos posted by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
