The moment came after a conspiracy theory was launched about the Chiefs' participation having to do with a CIA operation involving Taylor Swift and her refusal to support Donald Trump in both 2020 and 2024. Among the conspiracies is that Super Bowl 58, when added together, 5+8=13 and "13" is the name of Taylor Swift's album, as FoxNews.com explained this week.

The New York Times has been criticized over the past several months for its constant coverage of President Joe Biden and his age without giving Donald Trump the same treatment despite what other reports categorize as mental decline.

The report mentioned his mental faculties nine times, and Hur referred to the president as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."
