For many, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny delivered a historic Super Bowl LX halftime performance at Levi’s Stadium during the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
But the show quickly ignited outrage from President Trump and conservative viewers, who blasted it as an “affront to the Greatness of America” and a symbol of cultural division.
Bunny’s performance was predominantly in Spanish and advocated for open-border policies by listing mostly Latin American countries and stating, “Together, we are America.”
Perhaps Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, after suggesting Americans learn Spanish, could have been well served by taking a geography lesson.
“The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate is Love,” his performance concluded. But one man—the leader of the free world—wasn’t exactly on board.

Trump Blasts ‘Disgusting’ All-Spanish Performance as ‘Slap in the Face’ to America, While Patriots Turn to Kid Rock’s All-American Alternative
President Trump, who skipped the game and watched from Florida, unloaded on Truth Social shortly after the show.
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” he wrote. “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 continued. “This ‘Show’ is just a slap in the face to our Country.”
The President went on to describe Bad Bunny’s performance as “nothing inspirational” and a “mess.” He also managed to work in his usual criticism of the NFL’s ridiculous kickoff rules.
Bunny’s show “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 concluded.

Conservative influencers and fans turned to an alternative “All-American Halftime Show” hosted by Turning Point USA, featuring Kid Rock, country stars like Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett—an event that drew over 10 million viewers.
It was hailed by supporters as a patriotic counterprogramming option emphasizing faith, tradition, and national pride.
The NFL offered a divisive “artist” who supports illegal aliens, while TPUSA artists sang about the greatness of America and urged people to dust off their Bibles.
