"Donald Trump and his supporters have been crashing out over Bad Bunny performing at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show since October. Days after Bad Bunny was announced as headliner, the president called the move "absolutely ridiculous" and complained, "I've never heard of him." Turning Point quickly provided MAGA World with an alternative to Bad Bunny: the "All-American Halftime Show" (you know, because Puerto Ricans aren't American?)"
"It's also possible that Trump did not actually write this. The White House raised a lot of questions about who is authorized to post erratically on the president's Truth Social feed when they blamed his racist post about the Obamas on a staffer last week. It's a little fishy that this post went up at 9 p.m. on the dot and the inappropriate capitalization feels a little forced."
Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny headlining the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, calling the move "absolutely ridiculous" and saying "I've never heard of him." Turning Point promoted an "All-American Halftime Show" featuring Kid Rock, and Vice President J.D. Vance touted TPUSA's "fantastic lineup." Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president would prefer Kid Rock. The president nevertheless appears to have watched Bad Bunny and complained about the performance on Truth Social. Observers noted that staffers may have posted on his feed, citing prior blamed posts and odd timing and capitalization. The post's tone echoed a prior insult directed at Rihanna.
