U.S. President Donald Trump took to his social platform Truth Social shortly after the halftime performance to sharply criticise Bad Bunny’s set, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, EVER!” Trump argued that the performance “made no sense,” described parts of the choreography as “disgusting,” and claimed that because much of the show was performed in Spanish, “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He went further, saying the show was “an affront to the Greatness of America” and “a slap in the face to our country,” stating it did not reflect his idea of American “standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.” Trump also criticised the show’s suitability for children and took aim at media coverage of the event.
Trump’s remarks came in contrast to the widely viewed performance itself, which featured Bad Bunny celebrating Latino culture on one of the biggest entertainment stages of the year and emphasized themes of unity and joy for audiences around the world. Bad Bunny’s set included high-energy choreography and cameos that drew both praise and broad public attention, even as some commentators focused on Trump’s critique.
The reaction underscores how the Super Bowl halftime show traditionally a major pop-culture moment continues to intersect with broader cultural and political debates in the U.S., especially when artists from diverse backgrounds headline the performance.
in his words :
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. 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, 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 – And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
