Dillon has thought about “cool experience” in a recent interview with PK Press Club Digital.
“It was cool. I had never met any president before. A cool experience. I have never even met Brett Favre before that,” said Dillon. “It was a cool experience. If you are called by a president, no matter who you voted for, anyone is just a cool experience.
“Happy to have been there, could meet him, take photos, stuff like that. I had never been to a rally and I had this full experience, but really cool, that’s for sure.”

Dillon’s comments echoed those of the new teammate Saquon Barkley. Barkley played a golf round with Trump in April, shortly before the Eagles visited Trump in the White House, and took those who were disappointed with him.
“Lol some people are really upset because I played golf and I took the plane to the White House with the president,” Barkley posted at X shortly after the turn. “Maybe I respect the office, not a concept that is difficult to understand. There is no golf with Obama not so long ago … And I can’t wait to finish my tour with Trump! Now you go out my mentions with all this policy and spend an incredible day.”
