Ivanka Trump shared a video of her son Theodore Kushner racing NFL superstar Saquon Barkley in the Rose Garden, and it’s good to see that normal life has returned to the White House.
“Celebrating with champions at the White House today! Congratulations to the @Eagles on an amazing season and Super Bowl win!” President Donald Trump’s daughter wrote in her post Monday on X after the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LIX celebration at the White House. It has since gone viral with 1.3 million views and counting.
“My highlight of the day? Theo challenging @saquon [Barkley] to a race in the Rose Garden after my father wisely demurred!” she added. “Thanks, Saquon for being such a great sport!”

In the clip, we can see Kushner in the Rose Garden throwing a football back and forth to Barkley as each takes turns running to catch it.
Near the end of the clip, the Eagles star and Theodore square off to race to the other side of the garden, with Barkley taking an obvious step on the young Kushner to win the race.
Other pictures in the clip included a photo of Saquon and President Trump posing for a photo together and a family photo taken in the Oval Office that included Trump, Ivanka, Barkley, Theodore, and Joseph.
During the White House celebration, Trump praised the Eagles for their victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 and noted how the team came close to football immortality in Super Bowl 57, only to suffer a heartbreaking loss by three points [to the Chiefs].
“This year the Eagles were determined to get it back and get it back they did,” the president said. “This season started off slow, but you soon caught fire with your great coach inspiring you. And you got the ball to your superstar running back [Barkley], who I met yesterday … He is a great young guy and incredible football player.”

Barkley recently made headlines when images surfaced of him with Trump. He later defended hitting the golf links with the president, putting those insane critics squarely in their place.
“Some people are really upset cause I played golfed [sic] and flew to the White House with the PRESIDENT,” Barkley wrote in his post on X.
“Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand.”
“Just golfed with [Barack] Obama not too long ago…and look forward to finishing my round with Trump!” he added. "Now ya get out my mentions with all this politics and have amazing day.”
