Brown was asked about the Trump move and whether it was "premeditated."

"I heard Trump was going to be at the game," Brown explained. "I don’t know how many times the president is going to be at the game, so just decided to, you know, have some fun and do his dance."

In fact, a sitting U.S. president attending a regular-season NFL game is rare. The last president to attend a game while in office was President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Trump was at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans and went to a Pittsburgh Steelers game last year while on the campaign trail.
