He took the field at the Superdome with daughter Ivanka and son Eric, shaking hands with players before kickoff. The 79-year-old then settled in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles, sending the packed crowd into a frenzy as he waved from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: Green Card update: US takes big action on EB-5 category visa; changes for FY2025<\/p>\n<h2>Donald Trump&rsquo;s Super Bowl trip: Where the money went<\/h2>\n<p>The Daily Mail notes more than $65,000 went toward nine hotel bookings, three of them alone costing over $16,000 each. Nearly $18,000 was spent at the Margaritaville Resort. Two additional payments, around $25,000 combined, were listed for lodging services. Another $7,000 went directly to the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>The tally does not cover meals, flights, or agent pay, which would drive the total even higher. Secret Service staff had been in New Orleans five days before Trump&rsquo;s arrival, coordinating one of the largest Super Bowl security operations ever staged.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: Brazil&rsquo;s former President Jair Bolsonaro discharged from hospital, diagnosed with skin cancer<\/p>\n<h2>Tight security and public spotlight<\/h2>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>As per the Daily Mail, the precautions were extensive. Law enforcement blanketed the city with drones, rooftop snipers, armed guards, and bomb-sniffing dogs. Vehicles entering the Superdome passed through a massive X-ray machine designed to detect explosives. Trump also met with families of victims from the New Year&rsquo;s Eve ISIS attack on Bourbon Street, stopping for photos before kickoff.<\/p>\n<p>On the field, he shook hands with Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones, who was chasing a fourth Super Bowl ring. The Eagles crushed the Chiefs that night, 40&ndash;22.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has since kept up a steady string of public appearances, each requiring similarly scaled security. At Yankee Stadium on the anniversary of 9\/11, the team even installed protective glass panels in front of his seating area. <\/p>\n<p>Asked later on the White House lawn if he feared for his safety, Trump brushed it off. &ldquo;Not really. I&rsquo;m really concerned for our country,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We have a radical left group of lunatics out there, just absolute lunatics and we&rsquo;re gonna get that problem solved.
