Bad Bunny’s Real Feelings About Trump Resurface as the President Calls His Super Bowl Performance ‘Disgusting’ & the ‘Worst Ever’
StyleCaster Editors
President Donald Trump just reacted to Bad Bunny‘s historic Super Bowl after declaring his absence.
Before the Super Bowl, Trump told the New York Post he would not be attending the football game because it’s “too far away.” The president also shared his opinion about the Super Bowl performers Bad Bunny and Green Day: “I’m anti-them. … All it does is sow hatred.”
In an interview on Newsmax on October 6, Trump claimed he never heard of the multi-Grammy Award winning artist: “I never heard of him. I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it, it’s like crazy…I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
After the halftime show aired, the president went on his social media platform Truth Social to react. “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.
“‘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!” the president fumed. “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.”
Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl in 2025. However, this year, he hosted his own Super Bowl watch party at his Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to the president’s public schedule.
Bad Bunny has been a fierce critic of Donald Trump and his immigration policies. In 2020, he wrote to Time about the Black Lives Matter movement: “F–K DONALD TRUMP! PRESIDENTE DEL RACISMO. TU ODIO Y TIRANÍA, ESO SÍ ES TERRORISMO,” which translates to “PRESIDENT OF RACISM! YOUR HATE AND TYRANNY, THAT’S TERRORISM.” The Puerto Rican artist also endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential Election.
In the music video for “NUEVAYoL,” a Trump impersonator says over the radio: “I made a mistake. I want to apologize to the immigrants in America…This country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.”
A week before his performance, Bad Bunny condemned ICE and Trump’s immigration policies at the Grammys. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out!” he said in his speech. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans. I know it’s tough not to hate on these days, and I was thinking, sometimes we get contaminados – I don’t know how to say that in English – the hate gets more powerful with more hate.”
“The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love,” he concluded. “So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love.”
At the end of his performance, Bad Bunny’s dancers carried around flags and he shouted out Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, among other Latino nations, and also Canada. “Seguimos aqui [We keep going],” the singer said. He then raised a football towards the camera that read, “Together, we are America.” The message nods to the fact that all the countries he listed are part of the broader continent of North and South America. It also largely acknowledges the large immigrant communities that come from those countries and now live in the US.
