Fans are teeing off on Brittany Mahomes after she was caught “liking” a post from former US president Donald Trump on Instagram.
On Aug. 13, Trump took to social media to share 20 things on the GOP’s platform ahead of the 2024 United States presidential election. Fans noticed that Brittany Mahomes “liked” Trump’s post on Instagram, and she even pushed back against the backlash with a message of her own:
Needless to say, plenty of fans were stunned and disappointed to learn that Mahomes is seemingly endorsing Trump:
Mahomes’ husband, Kansas City Chiefs superstar signal-caller Patrick Mahomes, has mostly avoided discussing politics and sensitive topics. That said, he admitted that he disagreed with some comments made by teammate Harrison Butker during the kicker’s commencement speech in May.
Speaking to students at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, Butker made sexist, misogynistic, antisemitic and homophobic comments that led to calls for the Chiefs to cut their kicker. Butker stood by his comments, and head coach Andy Reid pointed to his freedom of speech.
Trump will run against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election that takes place on Nov. 5. If he wins, Trump will become the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms, joining Grover Cleveland.

The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime of Super Bowl 58, becoming the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowl championships since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots.
Kansas City will now try and become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Only the 1971-73 Miami Dolphins, 1990-93 Buffalo Bills and 2016-18 New England Patriots managed to play in three straight Super Bowl games, but none of them achieved a three-peat.
The Chiefs’ Super Bowl title defense begins in 12 days, when they welcome reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.
