Donald Trump had predicted that the New England Patriots would win Super Bowl LI by eight points. However, when the team was on the verge of defeat, the then-president of the United States decided to leave a party at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
According to Sports Illustrated, Trump left the gathering right after the Atlanta Falcons extended their lead to a staggering 28-3 in the third quarter, leaving behind a subdued and unenthusiastic atmosphere.
What the president missed was the Patriots’ epic comeback, as they tied the game and secured a historic overtime victory. Led by Robert Kraft, Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick—owner, quarterback, and head coach, respectively—the team pulled off one of the most memorable feats in Super Bowl history, without their high-profile supporter there to witness it.
