"Bad Bunny delivered a night to remember at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The Puerto Rican singer honored his hometown, married a couple live on stage, and symbolically passed his Grammy Award for Album of the Year to the next generation of Latin singers. There was really nothing to nitpick. It was a celebration. That is, unless you're Donald Trump."
""It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence," Trump ranted on social media. He complained that "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying," and called the halftime show "a slap in the face to our country." Trump also stated that there was "nothing inspirational" about the show."
"And if you speak another language in this country, then that apparently makes you un-American now, too. Forget the fact that the "REAL WORLD," according to the United States Census Bureau's 2019 report, states that more than half (55 percent) of the Spanish speakers in this country (over 40 million people, by the way) were U.S.-born Americans citizens. Trump doesn't care. Still, it seems the president watched Bad Bunny's performance over the alternative Turning Point USA stream even though he said he wouldn't."
Bad Bunny delivered a memorable Super Bowl LX halftime show that honored his Puerto Rican roots, married a couple onstage, and passed his Grammy Award for Album of the Year to the next generation of Latin singers. The performance drew widespread celebration and minimal legitimate criticism. President Donald Trump publicly denounced the show on Truth Social as "absolutely terrible," calling it un-American, unintelligible to many viewers, and lacking inspiration. The criticism ignored the large U.S. Spanish-speaking population, including over 40 million people and a majority of U.S.-born Spanish speakers. Despite claiming he would not watch, the president appears to have viewed the performance.
