Trump rips Bad Bunny halftime show: 'The dancing is disgusting, especially for young children'

"This 'Show' is just a 'slap in the face' to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

President Trump sharply criticized Grammy award-winning recording artist Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show performance. 

"The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"This 'Show' is just a 'slap in the face' to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule," he added.

When accepting his Grammy Award last Sunday, Bad Bunny criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations under Trump.

"Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say: ICE out," he said.
