Donald Trump breaks his silence on whether Eagles will receive White House invitation after Super Bowl win

Donald Trump has confirmed that the Philadelphia Eagles will be invited to the White House to celebrate their recent Super Bowl win.  There had been speculation that the Eagles would turn down the traditional audience with the President following victory over the Chiefs.

But after it emerged that the team would be ‘honored’ to visit the White House, Trump instructed his aides to send out the invite on Tuesday.  ‘They will be (invited). We haven’t yet but we will be. I thought it was a great performance by then and absolutely they’ll be extended that invitation,’ he said, before asking someone ‘do that right away’.  ‘We’re going to do it sometime today. They deserve to be down here and we hope to see them.’  It would represent the first time that the Eagles have visited the White House with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

They won the Super Bowl in February 2018, during Trump’s first term in office, but the team did not end up heading to the nation’s capital.  ‘The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better.

These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony – one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem.’  The President attended the Eagles’ victory over the Chiefs in New Orleans and was given a rousing reception by many fans inside the Superdome.  But he left the game early to fly back to his home in Palm Beach, Florida at an estimated cost of somewhere between $8million and $20 million taxpayer dollars.
