Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it "absolutely terrible" and "an affront to the Greatness of America" in a Truth Social post. The Puerto Rican musician's performance was notable for being primarily in Spanish and celebrating Latino heritage and culture. Trump's criticism included claims that the performance was nonsensical, did not represent American standards, and featured disgusting dancing. The performance followed Bad Bunny's Grammy win for album of the year for a Spanish-language album. His selection to perform at the Super Bowl had already drawn criticism from right-wing media due to his past criticisms of Trump's immigration policies.
