Terrible,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n President Trump told The Post that he\u2019s skipping this year\u2019s Super Bowl outside San Francisco. Tamara Beckwith \/ NY Post<\/p>\n The president said, however, that the musicians aren\u2019t his reason for skipping the game.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just too far away.\u00a0I would. I\u2019ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super\u00a0Bowl. They like me,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n \u201cI would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.\u201d<\/p>\n Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico and has an immense Spanish-language following.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny is performing during the halftime show.
