Bad news for Shedeur Sanders: Will the Trump curse strike again? Here’s the list of teams the president has jinxed

It happened again. Every time Trump shows up to a sporting event to back a team, it’s the kiss of death. It’s happened time and time again.

You almost have to feel sorry for his latest victim: Shedeur Sanders. The fifth-round QB finally gets a start with the Browns, wins and now gets jinxed by the president:

The last team to suffer from the Trump curse was the team from Washington D.C. The Detroit Lions destroyed the Commanders 44-22 on Nov. 9 and the fans had a field day booing and jeering the president.

Sports teams that Trump jinxed

The latest sports team to get hit hard by Trump’s curse is the Yankees. The Toronto Blue Jays won the ALDS series 3-1, for yet another disappointing season for New York fans. Trump visited the Yankees on Sep. 11, 2025 and Aaron Judge and the rest of the team were cursed.

Ryder Cup chaos

Back in September, Trump visited Bethpage Black to bring some luck to Team USA, who definitely needed all the help they could get. The Trump curse continued when the U.S. got way behind the Europeans on Friday with a 5.5 - 2.5 scoreboard. Things didn’t get better on Saturday when Europe dominated again and finished with an 11.5 - 4.5 lead. Trump strikes again. Despite an attempt a comeback on Sunday, Team USA lost on home soil 15-13.

Super Bowl LIX

We saw this happened at the last Super Bowl when Trump predicted a win for the Chiefs as Andy Reid’s team chased the a historic ‘three-peat.’ Kansas City was doomed from the start.

Ahead of the game Trump stated: “I guess you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he has won, I have to go with Kansas City,” Trump told Brett Baier of Fox News in the interview, referring to Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes.

“At the same time, Philadelphia has a fantastic [team]. It’s gonna be just a great game.”

On the night, the Eagles proved too strong winning 40-22.

Canada silence TD Garden

Trump also managed to jinx the 4 Nations Face-Off NHL final between the USA and Canada. After a heated game between both nations in Montreal last Saturday, in a game which the US won, Thursday nights contest resulted in a victory for the Canadians in a game played amid increased political tension.

Tension around the tournament

Earlier in the day, U.S. President Donald Trump made a bold statement on social media, reiterating his proposal to annex Canada as the 51st state of the United States.

“I’ll be calling our GREAT American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with FAR LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State,” President Trump posted on Truth Social.

After the win, Canadian leader Justin Trudeau took to social media with a “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game", retort.

2025 Election disaster for Trump

It’s not only limited to sporting events: The Trump curse has also claimed plenty of victims in the political arena. Mamdani was thrilled when Trump decided to back Cuomo for the NYC mayoral elections.
