President Trump slams singer Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance as ‘one of the worst’

President Donald Trump on Sunday said that Super Bowl LX’s halftime show featuring Bad Bunny was “one of the worst.”

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “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!”

Trump continued, “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

Trump previously criticized the NFL’s decision to have the Puerto Rican singer as the halftime entertainer.

Bad Bunny performed entirely in Spanish, as all of his music is recorded in the language, though he has collaborated with English-language artists. The only English singing came from Lady Gaga.

He spoke in English at the end of the set, however, when he said, “God Bless America,” and then named countries in the Americas: “Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil” and so on, including the United States and Canada, a reminder that while it is common to use “America” as a synonym for the U.S. in the U.S., it is the name used across two continents.

“And my motherland, mi patria, Puerto Rico, seguimos aquí.” In English, “My homeland, Puerto Rico, we are still here.”

Behind him, a screen read “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” in English text, a direct reference to one of his recent speeches at the 2026 Grammys.
