The real reason trump left the super bowl early revealed

Donald Trump left the Super Bowl before the fourth quarter on Sunday, leading some to speculate over the reason for his early departure.

Some thought the president left because the team he picked to win – the Kansas City Chiefs – were getting an absolute beatdown by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The move was part of an elaborate logistical operation that allowed Trump to became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

Having such a highly protected individual go in and out of a sports stadium causes a massive security headache – and it is one reason presidents are sometimes shy about attending mass events.

When a president does go to crowded public gatherings it requires more security from the U.S. Secret Service and local police, leading to potential chaos.

To ease security and logistical problems it is not unusual for presidents to depart such events before they end.

Otherwise, it would be necessary to prevent the audience – in this case 80,000 people – from exiting the stadium while the president is on the move.
Trying to orchestrate a ‘movement’ by the president while ticket-holders left the event could have been a logistical nightmare.

Trump’s team had drawn up a detailed plan to pull off the Super Bowl appearance, which was being hailed as a PR coup for the president.

It included figuring out where reporters and photographers could go to see the president up close, gathering information about lighting and distance, and thinking through other factors that can make for a strong image.

His arrival inside the stadium through the Chiefs’ tunnel had been planned in detail in advance, although Trump ended up getting there late and had a surprise encounter with Chiefs star Chris Jones.
