“No one understands a word this man says,” Trump said on his Truth Social website about Bad Bunny’s performance, which — like his award-winning music — was almost entirely in Spanish. Trump also complained that the action was “an insult to the greatness of America” and “a slap in the face” to our country.
Bad Bunny’s performance wasn’t overtly political. Aside from a series of dancing and singing atop fake power poles — which many believed was a reference to Puerto Rico still struggling with power outages nearly a decade after Hurricane Maria — the closest the show came to politics was a message on the video screen at Levi’s Stadium that read: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
It was a throwback to his speech at the Grammy Awards, in which Bad Bunny said “ICE out” as he decried Trump’s immigration policies while calling for unity and love. However, he also shouted “God bless America” and extended that sentiment to all the nations of the hemisphere as he named them all.
“There is nothing inspiring about this mess of a Halftime Show and look, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media because they have no idea what is going on in the REAL WORLD,” he wrote.
