President Donald Trump joked about bending the rules on a potential bracket for college basketball’s March Madness.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Trump on Friday if he’d filled in a bracket for the 2025 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Basketball Tournaments.

“I didn’t, I should have,” replied Trump, who caught heat for not doing so during his first term.

Former President Barack Obama, his predecessor, routinely did.

“Have there been upsets? A couple, right?” the current president asked Doocy.

Doocy suggested it was now “too late” for Trump to fill in a bracket.

“A little bit late,” Trump acknowledged.

Then he came up with a way to get around that problem.

“I should give you one but maybe backdate it, right?” Trump asked.

Watch the exchange here:

"Did you fill out a NCAA March Madness bracket?"

TRUMP: "I didn't. I should have. Have there been upsets? A couple, right?"

"Too late now?"

As of Monday morning, there were no perfect brackets remaining in the men’s tournament and just 141 were left in the women’s.
