Donald Trump insists “I never tell a lie” — and proves it in an embarrassing way
President Donald Trump attended the Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders NFL game, creating a notable moment. His arrival, nearly 80 minutes after kickoff, was met with a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd. This marked the first time in almost 50 years a sitting president attended a regular-season game.
Trump joined the FOX Sports broadcast booth during the third quarter for an interview. He was asked about his football days at the New York Military Academy, leading to a viral exchange.
When analyst Jonathan Vilma jokingly asked about his touchdown record, Trump gave a humble reply. “I’m not sure I had any,” he admitted, adding, “At least you realize that I never tell a lie, right?”
The moment drew significant attention online. This is because Trump, who has been fact-checked numerous times, made a claim about his own honesty.
The eight-minute interview also included politics, as Trump criticized President Biden. He also offered light commentary on the game, calling a play and emphasizing the need for a touchdown.
His relationship with the Commanders was highlighted when he received a framed team jersey from the owner. This followed rumors, reported by ESPN, that Trump wants the team’s new stadium named after him.
The stadium naming rumor remains unconfirmed. It follows Trump’s previous warning that he might block the stadium project if the team does not revert to its old, controversial “Redskins” name.
