President Trump slammed the Super Bowl LX halftime show, headlined by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, as “one of the worst, EVER” and “an affront to the Greatness of America.”
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post minutes after the show concluded Sunday night.
His complaints hinged on Bad Bunny’s discography, which is exclusively in Spanish, and the choreography that he called “disgusting.”
“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. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country,” Trump continued.
“There 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’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD,” he added.
Bad Bunny’s performance featured a swath of references to the Grammy-award-winning artist’s home, transplanting the island nation’s natural beauty smack in the center of Levi’s Stadium.
During the performance, Bad Bunny trekked through stalks of greenery, flanked by farm workers, before he made his way to the heart of a real-life wedding ceremony.
Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin made cameos during the show. In one brief aside, Bad Bunny handed his Grammy Award to Liam Conejo Ramos — the 5-year-old boy from Minneapolis who was released from ICE custody last week after the photo of his detainment went viral.
At the end of the show, Bad Bunny held up a football that read “Together We Are America.” In the background, a Jumbotron also read “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.”
Trump ended his post with one last jab toward the “ridiculous new Kickoff Rule,” which he previously called a core part of “sissy football.”
The rule is intended to protect the athletes against brutal head-on collisions, which are proven to shorten entire careers and lead to debilitating conditions like Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
Trump previously confirmed that he would be watching Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show, which featured a quartet of country singers and was headlined by Kid Rock. (edited)
