Trump Criticizes Super Bowl, Disses Halftime Acts Bad Bunny and Green Day
In a recent exclusive interview, former President Donald Trump expressed his disdain for this year’s Super Bowl halftime performers. The NFL championship is slated for February 8 in San Francisco. Trump announced he is skipping the game, primarily criticizing Latin music star Bad Bunny and rock band Green Day.
Trump’s Criticism of Super Bowl Halftime Acts
Trump stated his opposition to both Bad Bunny and Green Day. He referred to them as “terrible choices” for the halftime show. The former president believes their performances promote negativity.
During the interview, Trump conveyed his feelings towards the halftime lineup. “I’m anti-them,” he said, emphasizing his dissatisfaction with their selection. He also noted that these artists have publicly criticized him.
Reasons for Skipping the Super Bowl
- Distance from San Francisco: Trump cited the location as a reason for his absence.
- Past Super Bowl Experiences: He mentioned enjoying previous Super Bowls but wishes the game was closer.
Despite his feelings about the performers, Trump insisted that the artists were not the primary reason for his absence this year. “It’s just too far away,” he remarked.
Background on Performers
Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico, has a vast following in the Latin music scene. He has publicly criticized Trump in the past, including a notable song that emphasized the importance of immigrants to America.
Green Day’s lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, has also taken a stance against Trump. He recently voiced support for anti-deportation protestors, explicitly distancing himself from the former president’s political agenda.
Last year, Trump attended the Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, where he witnessed the Eagles’ victory. This year, his absence marks a stark contrast to his previous engagement at this annual event.
