President Trump apparently chose to watch Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Earlier in the week, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump would likely tune in to Kid Rock’s performance at TPUSA’s All-American halftime show rather than Bad Bunny’s during the Super Bowl.
“I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny, I must say that,” Leavitt told reporters.

On Sunday, Trump lashed out over Bad Bunny’s performance with a scathing critique on social media.
“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. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Video from inside Trump’s Super Bowl party in Florida confirms that the Bad Bunny halftime show was shown to guests instead of Kid Rock’s performance.
