Donald Trump Declines Super Bowl Attendance This Year
Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will not attend the upcoming Super Bowl, scheduled to take place in Santa Clara. This marks a change from last year, when he made history as the first sitting president to attend the event.
Trump’s Decision on Super Bowl Attendance
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump cited the distance as a primary reason for his absence. “It’s just too far away,” he stated. He expressed a certain level of regret, remarking, “I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.”
Musical Performances at the Super Bowl
While Trump will skip the game, he will not miss the entertainment aspect. This year, the halftime show will feature Bad Bunny as the headliner, along with Green Day performing at the opening ceremony. Both acts hail from Oakland.
Trump’s Controversial Remarks
- Trump criticized the NFL’s choice of musical acts, stating, “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice.”
- He further commented, “All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”
It appears that the sentiment between Trump and the featured artists may not be mutually favorable, indicating ongoing tension in the realm of sports and entertainment.
