Former President Donald Trump expressed strong criticism of Bad Bunny's performance during the Super Bowl halftime show, labeling it as 'absolutely terrible' and one of the worst in Super Bowl history. Trump claimed that the show was an affront to American greatness and did not meet the nation's standards of success, creativity, and excellence. He further complained that no one could understand Bad Bunny's lyrics, indicating a disconnect between the performance and American values.

This backlash is not isolated, as Trump has been vocal for months regarding his disapproval of the Puerto Rican artist being chosen as the main performer for the NFL's championship halftime show. The criticism represents not just a moment of political dissent but also involves broader cultural implications, as it places Trump in the center of a cultural debate over representation and acceptance within American entertainment.

The comments have stirred reactions among fans and supporters of Bad Bunny, who view his performance as a significant representation of Latin music and culture on an international platform. Trump's remarks may further polarize opinions on race and cultural representation in mainstream media, highlighting ongoing tensions in America's cultural landscape, especially concerning the acceptance of diverse artistic expressions.
