US President Donald Trump attended the Super Bowl, the annual competition championship of the National Football League (NFL) and one of the most viewed sporting events, on Monday evening, which encouraged a buzz on social media. Users on platforms such as Reddit started playing a gambling game and claimed that it cost $ 95,238.09 per minute in flight and security costs that were paid from public money. There is no official confirmation of the White House or the office of Mr Trump, but claims have become as high as $ 20 million and users hit it as a “waste” of public money.
Trump was only 3 and 1/2 hours at the Super Bowl. It cost $ 20 million. That is $ 95,238.09 per minute. $ 1,587.30 per second. What a waste.

One reddit user, however, asked the amount mentioned in the post and said: “Where on the other hand, how did it cost so much? I mean, I mean that the secret service and other logistics cannot be cheap , but that seems to be a ridiculous costs that are almost impossible to pick up in such an event. “
According to US Today, Although it was only a few weeks in office, Donald Trump arrived in the Super Bowl in New Orleans to see how the Philadelphia Eagles took the chief of Kansas City. Trump left the game during the break, with the Eagles comfortably ahead on the way to a 40-220 victory.

The news portal further said that not only the presence of Donald Trump needs the need for more security, but after the deadly attacks in New Orleans on January 1, where 14 people were killed and the postponement of the Sugar Bowl, the security would already be are much tighter than it would have been.
