Trump praises the resilience of the Gator when visiting the house

Washington President Donald Trump honored the NCAA basketball champion of 2025 Florida Gators on Wednesday in the White House and announced that “smaller teams collapsed” during his nail-bit title victory.

“It looked bad,” said Trump and noticed that Houston was listed in a game that Florida won in San Antonio 65-63 in San Antonio in San Antonio 65-63. “Did you think you would win?”

Florida (36-4) scored four wins at six March Madness victories. The Gators led the final for a total of 64 seconds, including the last 46 ticks of a competition that was in the balance until the final sequence.

Trump told Alijah Martin and made two free throws to bring the Gators a 46.5 seconds ahead and asked Martin if he was nervous.

“Smaller teams would have collapsed,” said the President.

Florida secured the third title of the program in basketball, and Trump noticed that it is the only school that has a trio of NCAA titles in this sport and football. When the Gator Basketball team won NCAA titles in a row in 2006 and 2007, the team President George W. Bush visited in the White House.

On Wednesday, the leading Trump administration managers from Florida, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio became. Trump mentioned Rubio and said that there is “no larger Florida fan”.

Florida Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Moody as well as various house members from the state and the former football from Florida, Tim Tebow, were also from hand. Trump described Tebow “as a college player, maybe the best of all time” and said he was a big fan, although Tebow spent part of his professional career with the New York Jets of the NFL.

The team gave Trump a signed basketball and a jersey No. 47 with his name on his back. The president also welcomed the 39-year-old coach of the Gator, Todd Golden, as “great” and “young” while he joked, “boy, I would like to be his agent”.

Last year, President Joe Biden organized a joint ceremony in honor of the NCAA men and women's basketball winners of the NCAA and the honor of South Carolina and Connecticut.

Since taking office in January, Trump has been organizing a number of championship teams, including the Super Bowl award winners from Philadelphia Eagles. His April ceremony in the rose garden with the NCAA soccer champion Ohio State Buckeyes is best for the Vice President JD Vance, a graduate and Buceye fan in Ohio, who is remembered by the team's trophy championship.
