He is honored by the office, not Trump.

During a media day on 2/5, Kelce was asked to share his reaction to the news that Trump will be attending on Sunday. Kelce's response was as follows:

"That's awesome. It's a great honor, I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there — it's the best country in the world — and that's pretty cool."
