Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly criticised Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show, calling the performance “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, EVER!” in a social media post following the broadcast.

Trump’s comments, made on his Truth Social platform shortly after the Puerto Rican artist’s set at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, described the show as “an affront to the Greatness of America” and “a slap in the face to our country.” He wrote that the performance “makes no sense,” that “nobody understands a word this guy is saying,” and that the dancing was “disgusting,” especially for children.

Bad Bunny’s halftime show was historic in that it was performed entirely in Spanish and incorporated elements of Latin music and culture, celebrating themes of unity and inclusion. The artist closed his performance with imagery and messages intended to highlight connections across the Americas.

The remarks have sparked debate online and in media coverage, with some commentators defending Bad Bunny’s artistic choices and cultural significance, while others have echoed criticism.
