This encounter followed Trump&#8217;s return from Pope Francis&#8217;s funeral in Rome. Pictures of Barkley and Trump sitting together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-media-app-parler-returns-to-googles-play-store\/\" title=\"... app Parler returns to Google\u2019s Play Store\">quickly gained traction<\/a> on social media.After their time at the golf club, Barkley traveled to Washington, D.C., aboard Air Force One. <\/p>\n<p>At Morristown Municipal Airport, Trump expressed admiration for Barkley, joking about potentially racing him. They also took a photo with a child in the White house Rose Garden before entering the Oval Office. The Eagles are scheduled to visit the White House to honor their recent Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City chiefs. However,the planned visit has faced controversy due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/billionaire-ronald-lauder-slams-whoopi-goldberg-warns-of-anti-semitism\/\" title=\"Billionaire Ronald Lauder Slams Whoopi Goldberg, Warns Of Anti-Semitism\">erroneous media reports<\/a> and quarterback Jalen Hurts&#8217;s ambiguous comments regarding his attendance at the ceremony.Despite the uncertainty surrounding Hurts, Barkley is expected to attend the white House event.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley spent Sunday with President Donald Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2106571\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley spent Sunday with President Donald Trump at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump recently returned from Rome, Italy, where he attended the funeral of Pope Francis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3393091\/shooting-at-small-north-carolina-college-leaves-one-dead-and-six-wounded\/\">Shooting at small North Carolina college leaves one dead and six wounded<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3393082\/israeli-jets-strike-beirut-southern-suburbs\/\">Israeli jets strike Beirut&#8217;s southern suburbs for the third time since a ceasefire began<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3393062\/trump-reveals-zelensky-asked-more-weapons-vatican-meeting\/\">Trump reveals Zelensky asked for more weapons in Vatican meeting<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Pictures of Barkley sitting at a table with Trump at the president&rsquo;s golf club caused quite a stir on social media. The Eagles running back later boarded Air Force One to travel to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Before boarding returning to the nation&rsquo;s capital, Trump briefly spoke to media gathered at&nbsp;Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, N.J. He spoke fondly of the Eagles star running back and quipped about competing against Barkley in a race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What a nice guy he is,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;I wanted to race him, but I decided not to do it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>After arriving at the White House the president and the star running back took pictures  with a child in the White House Rose Garden around 7:30 p.m., according to CBS News. Trump and Barkley then walked into the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>The Philadelphia Eagles will attend a special ceremony at the White House on Monday to honor the Super Bowl 59 champions. In February, they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in New Orleans to win the franchise&rsquo;s second Super Bowl championship. However, the team&rsquo;s appearance at the White House has been marred by controversy due to incorrect media reports and recent questionable comments from the team&rsquo;s quarterback, Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n<p>In late February, false rumors circulated that the team said it would skip the White House visit. This report was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3328076\/dont-believe-story-philadelphia-eagles-skipping-white-house-visit\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">based on an inaccurate story in an international publication<\/a>. After several hours of uncertainty over the story, it was later confirmed that the Eagles would be invited to attend a ceremony at the White House.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, this past week, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/sports\/3391621\/eagles-quarterback-jalen-hurts-stays-silent-white-house-visit\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">while attending the TIME 100 gala<\/a>, Hurts was inexplicably asked by a reporter if he would attend the White House&rsquo;s ceremony on Monday. Hurts <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/sports\/3391621\/eagles-quarterback-jalen-hurts-stays-silent-white-house-visit\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replied with a non-answer that left many to speculate<\/a> what he meant and if he would attend.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Ummm,&rdquo; Hurts said before smirking, turning away, and then turning back to look at the reporter who asked the question while still smiling.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Got it,&rdquo; the reporter then said. &ldquo;Thank you so much.&rdquo; And then Hurts walked away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles ceremony is scheduled to begin at the White House at 4 p.m. While Hurts&rsquo; appearance at the ceremony is uncertain, it is obvious that Barkley, the team&rsquo;s best player and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/where-are-tucker-and-sean-hannity-and-laura-ingraham-cnns-brian-stelter-wonders-why-fox-news-stars-havent-shown-vaccine-selfies\/\" title=\"\u2018Where Are Tucker And Sean Hannity And Laura Ingraham?\u2019 CNN\u2019s Brian Stelter Wonders Why Fox News Stars Haven\u2019t Shown \u2018Vaccine Selfies\u2019\">biggest star<\/a>, will be there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2106571\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2106571\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eagles&#8217; Saquon Barkley spent Sunday with Trump at his golf club<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2677,"featured_media":2428143,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SaquonBarkley-1024x682.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[36238,32319,7215,39935,54184],"class_list":["post-2428142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-celebrity-news","tag-donald-trump","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-saquon-barkley"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SaquonBarkley-1024x682.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2428142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2677"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2428142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2428142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2428146,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2428142\/revisions\/2428146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2428143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2428142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2428142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2428142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
