Trump Slams Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show as an American Slap

Former President Donald Trump blasted Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance on Truth Social, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, EVER,” saying it affronts American greatness and comforted by complaints about the performer’s Spanish lyrics and dancing for children. Trump also urged the NFL to scrap its new kickoff rule and touted the stock market and 401(k)s, while Bad Bunny ended his set with “God Bless America” and a tribute to Puerto Rico, highlighting Puerto Ricans’ U.S. citizenship status. California Gov. Gavin Newsom publicly thanked Bad Bunny, reflecting mixed public responses to the performance and Trump’s critique.
