ALBAWABA - US President Donald Trump wasn't the biggest fan of  Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show, taking to Truth Social to call the performance "absolutely terrible" and "One of the worst."

Trump took to Truth Social and wrote, "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."

The US President stated further, "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. 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!"

He claimed that the performance will only get reviews from "Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD," adding that the NFL should work on replacing its "ridiculous new Kickoff Rule."

On the contrary, many viewers and stars praised Bad Bunny's fully Spanish performance for its diversity by featuring different cultures, as Latin American flags waved in the background alongside the US flag. While performing, Bad Bunny also had a billboard behind him that read, "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."

American singer Kacey Musgraves wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done."

According to Variety, a wedding also took place during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show as pictures of the couple tying the knot flooded social media. Surprise guests such as Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and Pedro Pascal also attended the event.

According to several reports, Turning Point USA hosted an alternative Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Kid Rock for those who didn't wish to tune in for Bad Bunny's performance. 

During the Turning Point USA halftime show, Kid Rock told viewers, "Give your life to Jesus, and he’ll give you a second chance."
