Former President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime reveal performance, calling it “one of the worst” in history. The artist’s performance represented Latin America and shared a message of unity for the continent.
Trump took to his Truth Social account on February 9, 2026, to express his disapproval of the show. “The Super Bowl halftime show was absolutely terrible, one of the worst in history! It makes no sense, it’s an affront to the greatness of the United States,” he wrote. “It does not represent our standards of success, creativity, or excellence.”
The former president also voiced his displeasure with Bad Bunny singing in Spanish and performing reggaeton. “Nobody understands a single word of what this guy is saying and the dancing is repulsive, especially for young children who are watching from all over the United States and the world,” Trump stated.
He continued, calling the performance “a slap in the face to our country, which is setting new standards and records every day, including the best stock market and the best retirement plans ever!” He added, “There is nothing inspiring about it.”
Trump also predicted that the show “will receive excellent reviews from the fake news media, because they have no idea what’s happening in the real world.”
Concluding his post, Trump used his signature slogan, “make America great again,” which the White House also shared on social media as Bad Bunny’s performance began. The Super Bowl halftime show is a highly visible platform, often sparking cultural conversations and debate.
In contrast to Trump’s criticism, the Puerto Rican singer shared a message of unity for all of America during his performance, using the slogan “together we are America/juntos somos América.”
