Trump Rages at Bad Bunny
MAGA's hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are "theirs." But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

Two days after Trump posts a racist video, he now attacks Bad Bunny: "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying." He adds: "There is nothing inspirational about this mess." FYI: The billboard behind Bad Bunny read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl -- Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1.bsky.social) Feb 8, 2026 at 9:13 PM

The NFL is thriving. The USFL is dead thanks to the brain dead orange chomo.

When he says "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying," what he should say is; "I have no idea how many Americans speak Spanish at home and I don't give a ----."
When he says "There is nothing inspirational about this mess," what he should say is; "I lead the party so stupid we want to take Greenland and Iceland but don't know which islands are already part of the U.S."

The social relevance of the Turning Point USA half-time show in comparison to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is roughly equivalent to the cultural footprint Allen & Rossi left when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles.

The Kid Rock event proved to be a demonstration of very bad lip syncing, with lyrics less understandable than Bad Bunny's lyrics for those who don't know Spanish. But at least Erika Kirk didn't join in the gibberish ...

Bill seems awfully homocurious, every accusation is a confession with you guys. It's okay Bill if seeing two male dancers, who are likely gay, sword fighting turns you on. I watched the show and didn't notice it.

Oh, and Kid Rock was the perfect choice for the pedophile protection halftime show, since the lyrics in one of his songs admit that he's a pedo. Dotard's kinda guy, just like JeffEp

Trump was outraged at Bad Bunny's half time performance at the Super Bowl, claiming that it was the worst half time show in the history of the game, that it was un-American and that not one person in the country understood a single word that was spoken. Only 50-60 million people that's all...

I didn't watch BB's performance yet but I can say with 100% confidence that it was the greatest super bowl half time show ever by a former WWE champ.

Bad Bunny's half time show was well done. Creative and well planned and executed.
Couldn't understand the Spanish though.
I did read later the Ricky Martin small part was him singing about Hawaii and what became of their heritage. He was warning "Don't let what happened to Hawaii happen to Puerto Rico".
BB paid homage to multiple nationalities but did say in English "God Bless America".
He showed gay representation done tastefully but any representation is too much for some people.
I enjoyed watching his performance for artistic sake.

Racists are just gonna be racists. Which is pretty ridiculous, considering the entire notions of "white supremacy" and "American exceptionalism" are based on bs. But, it keeps the yahoos from looking at the people that are really screwing them over and making life more difficult. Namely, the wealthy.

Trump CAUGHT-On-Cam: Bad Bunny 'ROCKS' Mar-A-Lago's Super Bowl Halftime Screens Over 'FLOP' Kid Rock
U.S. President Donald Trump has been branded a 'hypocrite' after footage emerged showing Bad Bunny's official Super Bowl halftime show playing at his Mar-a-Lago watch party, despite POTUS and his MAGA allies publicly backing Turning Point USA's alternative Kid Rock performance. Video shared online shows large screens inside Trump's Florida golf club airing Bad Bunny's halftime set while the U.S. President sat with guests, contradicting earlier claims that he would tune into TPUSA's 'All-American' halftime show.

Trumpy is one of those kind of (racist) guys that when they hear a foreign language being spoken around them immediately assume bad things are being said about him personally.

I think what most people don't get is the NFL has desires to be international (in fact, in many ways it already is).
People bitching that the halftime show has to be in English don't get this.
Bad Bunny - who I had never seen until yesterday - is immensely popular around the world. So it only make sense the NFL has him do a halftime show. And the ratings support this.
And finally, the last thing I want to see is the old, washed up performers try to hang on.
In with the new!!!!!

The NFL owners have always hated Trump, and Trump has hated the NFL since they refused to let him buy a team.
It's personal, on both sides.
