President Trump announced in an exclusive interview with the New York Post that he will skip this year’s Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. He is citing the distance as his primary reason for ditching the event.
Come on, man. If the NFL were planning to be respectful and treat the man as if he occupied the highest office in the world, then he’d be there. For sure. Instead, they’ve hired two performers for the event who are attention-seeking anti-Trump activists.
Bad Bunny is slated as the halftime entertainment, while Green Day was recently announced to perform at the opening ceremony. The league decided the best way to take their premier event seriously is to intentionally hire “artists” who will, without a doubt, spit in the face of half the country.
As you might imagine, Trump isn’t a big fan.
“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” the President told the Post.

President Trump Skipping Super Bowl Amid Bad Bunny, Green Day Controversy
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has previously mocked Trump in his music, while Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has voiced opposition to Trump’s agenda, including support for anti-deportation protesters.
Trump has previously criticized the choice of Bunny as “absolutely ridiculous” and highlighted the artist’s anti-American, pro-illegal immigration stance. The rapper is a three-time Grammy winner known for his global popularity and Spanish-language hits.
Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, criticized law enforcement efforts to clean up the streets of criminals at his concerts.
“There was the issue of — like, (expletive) ICE could be outside my concert,” he said in an interview with Variety. “It was something we were very concerned about.”
The geriatrics comprising Green Day have also been childish in their opposition to President Trump, comparing him to Hitler. This past spring, the mascara-obsessed punk rockers altered their lyrics during a performance at Coachella to slam President Trump and his supporters, then set a palm tree on fire that prompted officials to disperse the crowd in that area.
The band performed their song “American Idiot,” originally an anthem meant to insult former President George W. Bush, and tweaked the words to take a shot at Trump.
“I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” was oh-so-subtly switched to “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda.”
They think they’re edgy. They ain’t.
Trump is clearly boycotting a Super Bowl where at least two of the performers will almost assuredly insult him. Bunny is also reportedly going to crossdress during his performance. So, there’s that.
The President, though, insists it’s about the travel.
“It’s just too far away. I would. I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me,” Trump said. “I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.”
Not worth the headache, Mr. President. The NFL is clearly more interested in letting woke losers deliver political messages during their performance than actually hiring good, solid entertainment.
