However, according to the Mail, the father-of-five was always planning on retiring from the festivities when he did, with the official White House schedule reportedly dictating that he leave the stadium at around 8.05pm local time.

Then he’d board Air Force One, as part of an intricate operation which allowed him to become the first sitting president to ever attend a Super Bowl game.

The move would have naturally posed a huge security risk for Trump, who became victim to several as-sassi-na-tio-n attempts in 2024 during his presidential campaign.

As per the publication, the politician had the back-up from the US Secret Service on the night, as well as hundreds of local police officers.

Recently, the terror attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans – which saw 14 people ki-ll-ed, dozens injured and the perpetrator fatally shot by police – also meant that security would need to be amped up even more so for Trump’s attendance.

And in order to avoid Trump becoming surrounded by crowds – of 80,000 people – when the game comes to an end, it was supposedly always scheduled that he’d leave ahead of the final minutes.

Trump is said to have arrived back in Washington, D.C. at 11.51pm.
