Donald Trump reveals ‘worst part’ of Super Bowl after taking savage dig at Taylor Swift being booed
The 78-year-old Republican leader's appearance marked the first time a sitting American president has attended the major sporting event
Donald Trump has revealed the 'worst part' of the Super Bowl after taking a savage dig at Taylor Swift being booed by the crowd on Sunday (9 February).
Unfortunately for Taylor, she found herself the recipient of a chorus of boos when she came up on the jumbotron - something which Trump didn't hold back sharing his glee over.
Following the uncomfortable incident, Trump shared a post online which read: "Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.

"The world is healing!"
And now, the 78-year-old Republican has once again taken to his social media platform, Truth Social, to share his verdicts on the 'worst part' of Sunday's eagerly-anticipated final which saw the Philadelphia Eagles take home a 40-22 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.
He penned: "The worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the Kickoff where, as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff.
"College Football does not do it, and won’t! Whose idea was it to ruin the Game?"
His remarks come after he sparked outrage online following one particular 'cringe' gesture he made at the Super Bowl.
During the national anthem, the president could be seen doing a salute while others around him, including his daughter Ivanka, put their right hand over their heart.
Viewers at home have since rushed to social media to share their thoughts on Trump doing the salute at the Super Bowl - despite the fact he's never actually served in the military.
One Instagram user wondered: "Why is he saluting if he was never in the military?"
"Saluting?? Wasn’t he a draft dodger??" asked a second.
Another penned: "He is not military. He should not be saluting. Period."
"A global embarrassment," declared a final Instagram viewer.
Now, in case you didn't know, Trump received military draft deferments five times, once for bad feet and four times for college.
By the age of 22, Trump - who was 6 feet 2 inches tall and an athlete - had already avoided the military draft four times in order to complete his college education at the University of Pennsylvania.
In the spring of 1968, the year he was set to graduate, he received a diagnosis that landed him a fifth draft deferment that would keep him out of the Vietnam war which saw more than 58,000 US fatalities.
Trump was diagnosed with bone spurs on his feet which the NHS describes as 'bony lumps that grow on the bones' - making him seemingly unfit for service.
He avoided the war and, instead, joined his father in business.
