President Donald Trump bashed Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl LX halftime performance on Sunday, calling it\u00a0\u201cabsolutely terrible, one of the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn\u2019t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,\u201d Trump said in a Truth Social post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Politics: ‘Whiny Loser’: Critics Mock Trump’s Super-Triggered Meltdown Over Bad Bunny<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThis \u2018Show\u2019 is just a \u2018slap in the face\u2019 to our Country,\u201d he added. \u201cThere is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven\u2019t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.\u201d<\/p>\n Bad Bunny\u2019s performance at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, comes just a week after he won three Grammys, including Album of the Year, for January 2025\u2032s \u201cDeb\u00ed Tirar Mas Fotos.\u201d His was the first Spanish-language album to win the category.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio, previously performed as a guest during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez\u2019s halftime show in 2020. As the headliner this time around, he brought Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin out as surprise performers. Several other stars, including Cardi B and Pedro Pascal, made cameos during the 13-minute performance.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny\u2019s performance and his Grammy wins come at a critical time, as the Trump administration is enacting an aggressive and racist mass deportation agenda that has torn apart families and led to nationwide protests.<\/p>\n News: Brad Arnold, Lead Singer Of 3 Doors Down, Dies At 47<\/a><\/p>\n At the end of his incredibly inclusive and celebratory show, the Puerto Rican-born superstar shouted out numerous Spanish-speaking countries and carried a football that read \u201cTogether, We Are America.\u201d A sign in the background said, \u201cThe only thing more powerful than hate is love.\u201d<\/p>\n The event featured pregame performances by Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones, as well as an opening ceremony performance by Green Day.<\/p>\n Trump told the New York Post<\/a>\u00a0he was not going to attend the Super Bowl this year because it was\u00a0\u201ctoo far.\u201d He also mentioned in the interview that he disliked Bad Bunny and Green Day. Both have been<\/a> outspoken about the Trump administration\u2019s<\/a> anti-immigration policies.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m anti-them. I think it\u2019s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n Video: Bad Bunny Scores Super Bowl Halftime<\/a><\/p>\n Many of Trump\u2019s followers were also upset by the halftime show announcement last year. So much so that Turning Point USA, the far-right organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk, put on an alternative performance, the \u201cAll-American Halftime Show,\u201d with Trump ally Kid Rock.<\/p>\n \u201cThe All-American Halftime Show is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom,\u201d Turning Point spokesperson\u00a0Andrew Kolvet said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cWe set out to provide an entertainment option that will be fun, excellent, and exciting for the entire family while millions are gathered together for the big game.\u201d<\/p>\n Like this article?
