Trump Responds To Bad Bunny Halftime Show, Says It Was ‘Absolutely Terrible’

Bad Bunny didn’t win over Present Donald Trump. 

In the moments after the Latin singer’s Super Bowl halftime show, the president declared it “one of the worst, ever.”

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, ever,” said Trump. “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of success, creativity or excellence.”

Bad Bunny’s songs were performed entirely in Spanish, and Trump said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He also had an issue with the choreography, which featured a group of women dancing in a sexually suggestive manner. 

“The dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching through the U.S.A., and all over the world,” Trump said. 

The President said the halftime show felt like a “slap in the face” to what America is accomplishing under his leadership. “This show is just a slap in the face to our country, which is setting new standards and records every single day—including the best stock market and 401(k)s in history. 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.” Trump ended his criticism adding he did not like the NFL’s new kickoff rule. “And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new kickoff rule.” 

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell responded to criticism one week before the game, emphasizing that the halftime show is meant to unite people and that Bad Bunny is “one of the great artists in the world.”

Turning Point USA created an alternative to the official Super Bowl LX halftime show after Bad Bunny, who had been critical of immigration policies of the Trump administration, was selected. One week before his Super Bowl performance, he made statements against ICE when accepting his Grammy.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out,” the singer said. “We are not savage. We are not animals. We are not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans … the hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. Yeah. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love. Don’t forget that, please.”

Millions of people tuned in to watch TPUSA’s halftime show, which featured Kid Rock and performances from Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.
