They like me,\u201d\u00a0Trump said. \u201cI would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn addition to the distance, Trump also criticized the NFL\u2019s choice of performers<\/a> for this year\u2019s Super Bowl 60, specifically Green Day<\/a>, who are playing a pre-game concert<\/a>, and halftime show headliner<\/a> Bad Bunny<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI\u2019m anti-them,\u201d Trump said of the artists. \u201cI think it\u2019s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tTrump previously said of Bad Bunny and the halftime show \u2014 which sparked a right-wing outrage<\/a> \u2014 in an October 2025 interview, \u201cI never heard of him<\/a>. I don\u2019t know who he is. I don\u2019t know why they\u2019re doing it, it\u2019s crazy, and then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it\u2019s absolutely ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n
