Saquon Barkley was spotted with Donald Trump at his golf course in New Jersey ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles' White House visit. This encounter, along with Jalen Hurts' ambiguous response to whether he would attend the White House event, has stirred discussion on social media. The Eagles had previously declined a White House invitation in 2018 after winning the Super Bowl due to differences with Trump. However, team owner Jeffrey Lurie now views this visit as a cherished tradition, illustrating the evolving dynamics between the team and the administration.
Barkley's appearance with Trump came a few days after Jalen Hurts raised eyebrows when he was silent on a question about whether he would visit the White House.
The Eagles' decision not to attend the White House in 2018 after winning the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl reflects historical tensions between the team and Trump.
Eagles team owner Jeffrey Lurie referred to the upcoming visit to the White House as 'a time-honored tradition' that the team was looking forward to.
The sighting of Barkley with Trump, alongside several 'Make America Great Again' hats, sparked discussions on social media about the implications of such a meeting.
