San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa surprised everyone at quarterback Brock Purdy’s post-game press conference by sneaking up behind him and displaying a MAGA hat, sparking laughter from the gathered media and team members.
“Nick Bosa with a message there!” one interviewer quipped, as Bosa’s teammates chuckled in the background.
This playful moment followed the 49ers’ 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in San Francisco.
After crashing the post-game live show with his MAGA hat, he was interviewed and said: “I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time.”
Bosa isn’t the first NFL star to publicly show support for Trump. Recently, Trump highlighted endorsements from former Pittsburgh Steelers Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, who both appeared with him at a Pennsylvania campaign event.
Although Bosa hasn’t explicitly endorsed Trump, he has expressed positive views about him in the past, dating back to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump even congratulated Bosa on X in 2019, shortly after Bosa was drafted by the 49ers, saying, “Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft.
You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you, but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The former president also praised Bosa during a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 2019.
Bosa has drawn headlines for his outspokenness, including his criticism of Colin Kaepernick for his controversial protest of kneeling during the national anthem.
Bosa’s support for law enforcement and military values aligns him with many MAGA supporters, but his recent display at Purdy’s press conference adds to the growing list of high-profile figures voicing support for Trump’s America-first policies.
Meanwhile, Trump’s MSG rally attracted a huge turnout, with supporters filling the arena and giving him an enthusiastic welcome back to his hometown.
Trump highlighted his proposed solutions to current national issues, urging his supporters to “take the nation’s future into their own hands” by voting to bring change.
After being introduced by his wife, former First Lady Melania Trump, Trump was joined onstage by his sons Don Jr. and Eric, daughter-in-law Lara, JD Vance, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
The crowd responded with loud cheers, particularly when Trump shared plans to address issues around the economy, taxes, and immigration.
Trump emphasized his intent to make America “affordable again,” proposing tax cuts for workers, elimination of taxes on tips and overtime, and credits for families caring for elderly loved ones.
He also vowed to make interest on American-made car loans tax-deductible.
On immigration, Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming she “violated her oath” by allowing high numbers of undocumented immigrants to enter the country.
Trump pointed out that in the past month alone, individuals from 181 countries had entered the U.S. illegally, alleging that many of them have been resettled by the administration across U.S. cities.
Trump raised concerns over gang activity, specifically mentioning Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang, claiming its members have infiltrated New York City, even appearing in Times Square. He also aired a video to highlight the gang’s presence.
With these calls to action, Trump wrapped up the MSG rally, signaling his commitment to advancing an America-first agenda.
