Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social shortly after what he called one of the worst halftime shows ever aired.
US President Donald Trump has lashed out at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which was headlined by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny.
Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social shortly after what he called one of the worst halftime shows ever aired.
"The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!" the president wrote.

"It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.
"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."
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has won six Grammys to date, including Album of the Year at this year's awards.
He performed the halftime show in his native Spanish.
The Hispanic population is the largest minority group in the US, where more than one in five people spoke a language other than English at home between 2017 and 2021, the most popular of which was Spanish, according to the US Census Bureau.

Trump called Ocasio's performance a slap in the face to the US, which he somewhat confusingly claimed sets new standards and records daily.
"Including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!" he wrote.
"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."
The president concluded his post by demanding the NFL immediately replace its "ridiculous" new kick-off rule.
The rule he was referring to was brought in at the start of the NFL season and is designed to make kickoffs safer.

There was significant backlash in conservative circles when Ocasio was announced as the Halftime Show headliner last year, much of it centred around the fact that he sings in Spanish.
One right-wing group felt so strongly about that it produced its own alternative halftime show to rival the official NFL one.
Turning Point USA, a conservative political organisation formerly led by Charlie Kirk, ran the 'All-American Half-Time Show' on various conservative TV channels at the same time as Ocasio's performance.
It was headlined by Kid Rock, who has faced his own share of criticism.
His 2001 song Cool, Daddy Cool recently resurfaced and sparked backlash for including the lyrics: "Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage/ See, some say that's statutory/ But I say it's mandatory".
