Donald Trump has called Bad Bunny's historic Super Bowl half-time show performance "absolutely terrible" and an "affront to the Greatness of America." The Puerto Rican musician made history by becoming the first Super Bowl headliner to perform (nearly) entirely in Spanish, and hosting a wedding during the show, which included appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
Trump's criticism was expressed on his social media platform Truth Social, where he 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 also claimed that nobody understands what Bad Bunny is saying during his performances, and that the dancing in the show is "disgusting," particularly for young children.
Bad Bunny's performance drew criticism from right-wing media commentators, who have criticized him for being vocally critical of ICE and Trump's administration on immigration policies. However, his message of unity and celebration of Latino heritage resonated with many in attendance.
The Super Bowl half-time show has become a staple of American cultural calendar, but Trump's comments highlight the ongoing tension between the country's diverse communities and its political leaders.

, while 42% of those aged 30-49 agree with me lol! 
in all seriousness tho, 55% of latinx folks say bad bunny's performance was a huge success 
, and it's crazy to think that trump only represents like 25% of americans who are gonna disagree with his views on this 
anyway, did you know that the super bowl halftime show has an average viewership of around 100 million peeps? 
like seriously dude if you're still salty about losing the election, maybe take a chill pill? 
but for real, bad bunny slayed that halftime show and showed everyone what it means to be proud of your roots. all this drama over him speaking spanish during his performance... like, hello America's a melting pot not a monolingual zone 
Bad Bunny totally killed it at that Super Bowl halftime show 
and you're just hating because he wasn't singing about how great America is all night? Like, what even happened to your ego when people started showing up in Puerto Rico wearing "Bad Bunny" t-shirts? 
The dude made history and broke barriers, and instead of being proud, you're over here dissing him on Twitter. Newsflash: Bad Bunny's message of unity and celebrating Latino heritage is actually kinda cool 
, especially for all the people who felt like they were represented at that show. You know what's disgusting? Your face when you get roasted by a 45-year-old man with a bad comb-over 
. And have you ever noticed how some breeds of dogs can do these crazy stunts during dog shows? Like, I mean, what's up with those agility courses? Is it really necessary to have a dog run through tunnels at like 30 miles per hour? 
And can we talk about how Bad Bunny's show was super cheesy, like he was trying too hard to be cool 
The whole "disgusting" dancing thing is just Trump being Trump, though 
. But hey, I think the real issue here is that people are taking sides and it's getting too heated 
. Can't we all just get along? 
? like, dude, bad bunny is killin it over there and you're over here trashin him for speakin spanish 
? newsflash, trump: the super bowl is about entertainin people not testin their language skills. btw, i'm pretty sure nobody in america was like "huh? what's bad bunny sayin?" 
more like "wow, he's so fire" 
and as for the dancing, yeah it might've been a lil wild but it was also super fun to watch 
. anyone else think trump's just mad 'cause bad bunny's outshinin him? 
I'm just saying, if you don't like something, maybe try watching it instead of making a public diss...just a thought 
. It wasn't just about the Spanish lyrics; it was about the energy and the message of unity and love 
. And let's be real, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin brought the heat 
. We need to focus on celebrating our differences, not tearing each other down. Bad Bunny's performance was a celebration of Latino heritage and creativity 
.
It was such a beautiful moment of love and acceptance.
Let's just give Big Ben some props for bringing the heat 
. The fact that he's claiming nobody understands what Bad Bunny is saying during performances just highlights the privilege of being able to dictate what is "American" or "representative" 
.
