“Slap in the face”: Donald Trump blasts Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show as “absolutely terrible”

Donald Trump did not hold back after Super Bowl LX’s halftime show. Within minutes of Bad Bunny leaving the stage, the president took to Truth Social with a blistering reaction. The performance, which drew global attention and celebrated Latin culture, clearly did not impress him.

His remarks quickly sparked fresh debate online, adding a political layer to an already headline grabbing night.Bad Bunny made history as the first male solo Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and the first to perform an entire set in Spanish. While millions praised the energy and message of unity, Trump offered a sharply different view from his watch party at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach.

Posting roughly half an hour after the performance ended, Donald Trump wrote, “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.”He continued his criticism, saying, “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.” Trump also described the show as a “slap in the face” to the country and predicted favorable media coverage despite his objections.The remarks came as Turning Point USA streamed its own “All-American” alternative halftime program online, drawing about four million viewers.

By comparison, traditional Super Bowl halftime performances often attract well over 100 million viewers.Bad Bunny’s set ended with a football bearing the message “Together, we are America,” and a screen that read, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Supporters viewed the moment as a call for unity. Critics saw it differently.The clash highlights how the Super Bowl halftime stage remains more than entertainment. It is culture, politics, and spectacle all at once.
