While Bad Bunny was expressing love during his 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, Donald Trump decided to react with hate.

Shortly after the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show wrapped Sunday night, the president quickly took to Truth Social to share his thoughts on the performance. And to no surprise, as Trump has been outspoken about his disdain for the Grammy winner, he called it “absolutely terrible” and “disgusting.”

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” Trump wrote. “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.”

The president continued, “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! 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 — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Videos circulated on social media showing Bad Bunny’s halftime show playing inside Trump’s Super Bowl party at his Mar-a-Lago golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida — instead of Turning Point USA’s MAGA-friendly “All American” Halftime Show” alternative with Kid Rock.

Trump’s comments were quite the contrast to the message Bad Bunny shared at the end of his performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

The Puerto Rican rapper and singer not only brought a bit of his culture to the global stage to share with everyone, with a set inspired by his hometown community in Puerto Rico, but he also told a love story throughout his show on football’s biggest night.

Ever since Bad Bunny was announced as this year’s Super Bowl headliner, Trump has been critical of the decision, as the “DtMF” singer has been very outspoken against his administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.

Most recently, Bad Bunny slammed ICE at the 2026 Grammys during his acceptance speech. He also opted out of holding U.S. stops on his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour due to worries of potential ICE raids at his concerts.

On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots were battling it out inside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, for Super Bowl LX, with the Seahawks ultimately taking home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Check out all the celebrities in attendance here.
