It’s official: Donald Trump is back in the Oval Office as the 47th president of the United States, and it seems the “Make America Great Again” mantra is catching fire in more ways than one.
Case in point: Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi Mahomes, made her own splash on Election Eve. Sporting a bright red “MAGA” hat and a Chiefs sweatshirt, she posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) declaring, “Make America Great Again! Let’s do it.” Clearly, she wasn’t shy about showing her support for Trump’s vision as her son and the Chiefs prepared for Monday Night Football.

But it wasn’t just Randi stepping into the political limelight. Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, caught some media heat earlier this year after she liked one of Trump’s posts on Instagram. Trump’s post laid out the “2024 GOP Platform,” including pledges to cut taxes, secure the border, tackle inflation, and even keep men out of women’s sports—a hot topic for parents and athletes nationwide.
When the cancel crowd came for her, Brittany didn’t back down. She responded to critics in an Instagram Story, calling them out with a jab that had plenty of people nodding in agreement: “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.”

In today’s culture, showing any hint of support for conservative ideas can put public figures in the hot seat. Brittany’s “like” stirred up the online trolls, but she clapped back with the kind of frankness that the left has a hard time handling. And she didn’t stop there. On the Whoop podcast, she drove home her stance, explaining that she’s grown tired of tiptoeing around critics and thanking her husband, Patrick, for helping her tune out the noise. “I don’t give a [bleep] what people have to say about me anymore,” she said, crediting Patrick’s experience in professional sports for teaching her to ignore the haters.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes has walked a careful line, staying out of endorsements while still emphasizing the importance of voting. He reminded people in a Chiefs press conference to “do their own research” and make informed choices based on their values. While Mahomes didn’t throw his support behind any candidate, he underscored that voting independently and making personal decisions “is what makes America so great.” It’s a diplomatic stance, and it’s hard to argue with his point.
Of course, as Trump’s election night unfolded, it was clear he wasn’t short on support—both on the field and off. Trump’s second victory is already igniting a renewed wave of patriotism and calls for policies that resonate with average Americans. From energy independence to securing the border, Trump’s message of “common sense” solutions is striking a chord across the country. His supporters see this as a mandate to restore stability and rebuild American strength after years of unchecked spending, open borders, and progressive social policies.
With Trump back in office and a GOP-led Senate, the country is poised for a significant shift. And seeing figures like the Mahomes family—despite the media’s attempts to sideline them—speak out, even subtly, shows just how widespread the appetite for change really is. After all, as Brittany Mahomes pointed out, there’s no reason for hate against those who want to see America strong, proud, and thriving.
