President Donald Trump watched Super Bowl 51 at a swanky party at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

His wife, Melania, and his chief of staff, Reince Priebus, were both by his side.

See how Trump spent America’s biggest sporting event, with some key details from pool reporters at the party:

After a day full of criticizing a federal judge on Twitter for blocking his temporary immigration ban of seven majority-Muslim countries, Trump arrived at his golf club.

The Palm Beach Central High School Band played for the Trump’s arrival.



A red velvet rope encircled the president’s table, separating him from the rest of the attendees.

In an interview with Bill O’Reilly that aired before the game, Trump predicted the Patriots would win by eight points.

Food included cupcakes iced with Falcons red and Patriots blue, brownies, black and white cookies, a popcorn machine, a soft serve ice cream or fro-yo dispenser, and large pretzels.

While Trump refused to tell pool reporters who he was rooting for, he told O’Reilly how much he liked the Patriots. “I like [Patriots owner] Bob Kraft, I like coach [Bill] Belichick,” Trump said. “Tom Brady is my friend.”
