The Super Bowl’s halftime show, starring Bad Bunny and a string of surprise guests, was “absolutely terrible,” according to President Donald Trump.
The 13-minute performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., was largely in Spanish. Toward the end, Bad Bunny switched to English to shout out, “God bless America!” He then gave a roll call of the nations of the Americas, north, south and central.
On his Truth Social account, Trump said:
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. 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. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Notes from the show
Real wedding: One of the “scenes” of the performance was a wedding, where the marrying couple parted to reveal Lady Gaga as the first surprise guest. The couple was actually married during the show, according to a representative for Bad Bunny, who said the performer served as a witness and signed their marriage certificate.
The little boy: In another vignette, Bad Bunny knelt down and handed a Grammy statuette to a little boy. Immediately, viewers began speculating online that the child was Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old whose detention in Minneapolis has become a symbol of the immigration crackdown. The Conejo Ramos family and Bad Bunny’s publicist said it was not him, but an actor, whom the New York Times identified as Lincoln Fox Ramadan.
