President Donald Trump has slammed Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show performance as “an affront to the Greatness of America” in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
The president said the halftime show was “one of the worst, EVER!” and it was a “slap in the face to our country.”
Trump last week suggested the halftime show headliner was one of the reasons he was staying away from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump said of Bad Bunny and Green Day, who opened the event.
Both artists have been outspoken against the Trump administration’s anti-immigration crackdown, though Green Day avoided any controversy during their performance.
The Puerto Rican megastar, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is the first male solo Latin artist to perform the halftime show, as well as the first to perform their set entirely in Spanish.
After it was first announced that the Grammy winner would headline the big game last year, the president called the pick “absolutely ridiculous” and said he had never heard of Bad Bunny.
Meanwhile, Trump is hosting his own Super Bowl watch party thousands of miles away at his Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to the president’s public schedule.
The president started his Sunday with a round of golf at Trump International Golf Club, according to the schedule.
