Donald Trump has set the internet ablaze after launching a verbal attack on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance. Describing the show as “absolutely terrible,” the former President lashed out on social media, claiming it failed to meet America’s standards for success and creativity. Trump, who didn’t attend the event due to “distance issues,” criticised the performance as “disgusting” and unsuitable for young viewers. He also took the opportunity to bash the NFL’s new kickoff rule, urging a change to “Make America Great Again.”
Bad Bunny, unfazed, added his own spice to the mix during his Grammy speech and the halftime show, throwing subtle shade at Trump and delivering a powerful message on immigration: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” The performance closed with him walking alongside flags representing America’s diverse nations, a visual gesture of unity.
Social media was divided. Supporters viewed the show as a celebration of American diversity, while critics sided with Trump’s harsh words. One viewer praised the production quality, and despite not being a fan of the genre, found the performance to be on point. Another pointed out, “People who don’t realise this was a celebration of America aren’t patriots.”
Amidst the controversy, Bad Bunny wrapped up his halftime show with a heartfelt, “God bless America,” adding yet another layer to an already dramatic Super Bowl Sunday. What do you think about Trump’s comments and Bad Bunny’s performance? Share your thoughts!
