Security expert explains why Donald Trump left the Super Bowl so early as he had ‘choice to make’

Donald Trump made history as the first sitting U.S. president to attend the Super Bowl, though he left early. He departed before the game ended, heading to the airport while the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs were still playing. Security expert Will Geddes explained that Trump’s early exit was due to safety concerns. Managing such high-profile visits requires extensive planning, including snipers, behavioral spotters, and coordination with stadium security. Geddes noted that it’s safer for the president to leave early to avoid the chaotic post-game crowd. The event went smoothly, despite a brief security issue involving a dancer, and Trump left without incident.
