The Trump jinx continues: First the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and now the USA hockey team loses to Canada

Looking to make some money in the world of sports betting? Bet on the team that plays against the one that Donald Trump wishes well or picks.

We saw this happen with the recent Super Bowl as Trump predicted a win for the Chiefs as Andy Reid’s team chased the a historic ‘three-peat.’

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’s latest dabbling in the world of sports, came this week ahead of Thursday night’s 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.

“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.
