Our President

The post you shared is a real one from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) on Truth Social (mirrored or cross-posted to X), reacting immediately after the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026.

**Summary**:  
Trump harshly criticizes the halftime performance as "absolutely terrible" and one of the worst ever, calling it nonsensical, an "affront to the Greatness of America," and unrepresentative of U.S. standards of success, creativity, or excellence. He specifically complains that "nobody understands a word this guy is saying" (referring to the headliner performing largely in Spanish), describes the dancing as "disgusting" (especially for young children watching nationwide and globally), and labels the whole show a "slap in the face" to the country. He contrasts it with America's current successes (e.g., record-breaking stock market and 401(k)s), predicts the "Fake News Media" will praise it anyway due to being out of touch with the "REAL WORLD," and adds an unrelated jab at the NFL's new kickoff rule. He ends with his signature "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" and signs off as "President DONALD J. TRUMP."

**Context**:  
This was Trump's response to Bad Bunny's headline performance at Super Bowl LX (held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, during the game between the Seahawks and Patriots). Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican reggaeton/Latin trap star, delivered an energetic set celebrating Puerto Rican and Latino heritage, performing mostly in Spanish—making it the first halftime show primarily in that language. He was joined by guests including Lady Gaga (who did a salsa-style version of "Die With a Smile"), Ricky Martin, and others like Los Pleneros de la Cresta, with cameos from figures such as Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba. The show was widely described as joyful, historic, and culturally significant, though it drew conservative backlash beforehand and after for its language and style.

Trump's post aligns with his pre-game criticisms (he had called the choice "ridiculous" and said he'd never heard of Bad Bunny, even indicating he'd skip watching in favor of alternatives like a Kid Rock-led "All-American" halftime event promoted by Turning Point USA). Media coverage framed his reaction as part of broader cultural and political divides, with some outlets noting the performance's emphasis on unity and Latino pride as a subtle counter to such critiques.
