“I think people should remember that this is the greatest country, this is the greatest experiment in governance and the greatest experiment in community building that has ever been attempted in the history of the world,” Harbaugh said. “What it’s all about was never even understood until 1776 when the founders came up with this idea.”
And when the national anthem hits on game day, Harbaugh said he “will be proud to stand out there.”
The Giants hired Harbaugh days after President Donald Trump weighed in on the team’s coaching search. The Baltimore Ravens fired the Super Bowl champion after their Week 18 loss cost them a playoff spot.

Trump fired off a Truth Social post saying the Giants needed to hire him “quickly.”
“It surprised me,” Harbaugh recalled. “All of a sudden I started getting ‘Bing, Bing, Bing,’ my phone starts going off and there it is. It’s like, man, okay, he’s the president. I guess that’s what we want to do.”
He said he has met three US presidents, including Trump. He has previously met Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama.
“It just shows you how blessed we are to do something like this,” he said.
