NFL Fans Are Convinced Donald Trump Just Doomed 3 Teams Before The Season Even Started
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
The dreaded Donald Trump curse has been a running joke among sports fans. They claim that when Donald Trump attends a game, publicly endorses a team, or involves himself in a sports controversy, that team or individual immediately suffers a loss.
After Trump successfully lobbied FIFA to overturn a red card for Folarin Balogun, Team USA suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat to Belgium. During an explosive championship run, the Knicks lost their only postseason game when he showed up.
Trump attended Super Bowl LIX and predicted a win for the Kansas City Chiefs. However, they were subsequently blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles. It even extends to the UFC.
Luckily, he had nothing to say about Team USA ahead of their gold-winning victory against Canada. The same couldn’t be said about the previous year.
Massive Fan Backlash Over Donald Trump Predictions
An absolute firestorm of online criticism has been directed at the President this week. President Donald Trump offered thoughts on several clubs during an interview. The remarks centered on clubs expected to perform well in the upcoming season.
Three specific franchises received positive mentions in the exchange. The New England Patriots, New York Giants, and Los Angeles Rams all drew favorable observations.
“Well, maybe I’ll pick a few. I think New England looks good. I think the Giants – I like their quarterback a lot. They say the LA Rams are looking very strong,” Trump said during the event. “But I’d better not get into this too much. I’m going to get myself into trouble if I do.”
“I think you have a lot of good teams – a lot of great teams. We’ll see how it turns out. I’ll be watching,” Trump said.
Fans Believe Trump Cursed All Three Teams
Social media couldn’t believe the teams that Trump chose.
“You lost me at Giants,” one fan said.
“Well, he just cursed the Rams, expects them to lose in the NFC Championship again,” a second fan wrote.
“Stick with being president lol,” a third fan added.
“He just jinxed those three teams,” one final fan said of Donald Trump.
During the 2025 NFL season, the New England Patriots achieved one of the largest single-season turnarounds in NFL history. They finished the regular season with a 14–3 record. They advanced all the way to Super Bowl LX, where they ultimately lost 29–13 to the Seattle Seahawks.
During the 2025 NFL season, the New York Giants struggled significantly. They finished with a 4–13 record and placed last in the NFC East. Head coach Brian Daboll was fired after a 2–8 start. The last winning season for the New York Giants was in 2022.
The Los Angeles Rams finished the regular season with a strong 12–5 record last year. They featured the NFL’s highest-scoring offense, averaging 30.5 points per game. The Rams fell just short of a Super Bowl appearance, losing a close 27–31 game to the division rival Seattle Seahawks.
All three teams would love to do better in 2026. However, Donald Trump may have ruined it.
