Trump Criticises Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: Show a Slap to US

President Donald Trump sharply criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show, which took place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium. Following the performance, Trump posted on Truth Social, describing the set as a "slap in the face" to the country and "one of the worst, EVER!".

 

His primary criticisms included:

• Cultural Representation: Trump labeled the show an "affront to the Greatness of America," claiming it did not represent national standards of success or excellence.
• Language Barrier: He complained that "nobody understands a word this guy is saying," referencing the fact that the performance was almost entirely in Spanish.
• Performance Style: Trump described the dancing as "disgusting," specifically noting its inappropriateness for young children.
• Media Reaction: He predicted the "Fake News Media" would give the show rave reviews because they lack a "clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD".
• Bad Bunny’s performance featured a message of unity, concluding with a billboard stating "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" and a football imprinted with "Together, We Are America". Conservative group Turning Point USA hosted an alternative "All-American Halftime Show" headlined by Kid Rock to protest the NFL’s choice.
