“Thank you saquon for the great kindness you showed my son Theo – so much that we are willing to accept that you have left Giants. However, still hurt,” Ivanka replied to an X -post from Barkley, containing a picture of them three together.
Barkley, along with many of his teammates, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, General Manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Siriani, among others, was in the White House on Monday.
Trump praised Barkley’s ability to help the Eagles lift the Lombardi trophy at the end of their season, especially his back over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender during the regular season.
However, Barkley had to defend his time with Trump before the celebration when they were discovered on the 47th president’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
“Lol some people are really disturbed because I played golf and flew to the White House with the president,” twited Barkley Monday. “Maybe I’m just respecting the office, not a tough concept to understand. Just golf with Obama not too long ago … and looks forward to ending my round with Trump! Now you have to get out of my mentions with all this policy and have a great day.”
