Media mogul Donald Trump slammed Beyonce's Super Bowl performance as 'ridiculous' and inappropriate. Appearing on the 'Howard Stern Show,' Trump said the singer was too 'suggestive' for a national audience. 'When Beyonce was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner, if someone else would have done that it would have been a national scandal,' Trump, 66, said. 'I thought it was ridiculous ... I thought it was not appropriate.'
Trump said he thought it was strange that no one else has criticized her for her scandalous dance moves.
'There's been no mention of it,' he said. 'So obviously, it must not have been so bad. She gets a pass.'

It seems to me that Donald is dangerously close to playing the race card. It also seems to me that Donald’s ego is so enormous that he can’t stand being out of the news for more than 30 days.
Shut. Up. Donald.
Only The Donald has the cojones to blast Beyonce’s stupid salacious show. All others are afraid of being called racist. In the age of Obama, Beyonce is what passes for high entertainment.
But ...uhhh ... I agree with him.
Racist;)
I think the show thrust its way beyond “suggestive” to downright “assertive.”
It was a stupid strip tease. So Trump cannot say this because the trashy performer is black? A pretty bleached one at that? Welcome to the age of Obama group-think
All one has to do is envision THEIR daughter up there ....
Ain'cha' proud o'me, daddy ?
I thought it was beyond stupid and quite watching after a few minutes. Utter garbage from a music standpoint.
“But ...uhhh ... I agree with him.”
So do I. But what purpose does it serve, beyond the obvious “look at me”, to make that comment?
Do you think the NFL will say: “Oh gee, we irritated Donald, we better mend our ways?”
Seriously, the problem isn’t that a celebrity didn’t speak up about Beyonce’s pole dance at halftime. The problem is, Americans eat it up and want more, regardless of the setting.
I’d happily watch a Beyonce pole dance, in a more appropriate time and place.
I strongly disagree.
Speak up Trump. Someone has to.
If a lot of people had it in their minds to speak up about such things, then Donald could quietly rise above the babble and be a rich guy. None the worse for wear.
But nobody is speaking up. Anywhere.
Leaving an opportunity, even a requirement, for someone brave enough, to do so.
Speak up Donald. Never, ever shut up.
I think that thought helped him to quit the business.
This coming from a guy who thought it a good idea to hire Perez Hilton as a judge for the Miss America pageant.
“...media mogul...” ?
I see that every time I look in the mirror .. (right after exclaiming; "DAD !!" )
“My Daughter The Whore” would now be an acceptable network sitcom...ain’t liberalism just the cat’s pajamas?
“Speak up Donald. Never, ever shut up.”
You raise a valid point. There is just too much PT Barnum in Trump for my taste.
I didn’t watch. I was at church. I’ve heard a lot if praise for her though. First time I’ve any criticism. Thanks Donald.
Her trashy dancing with a cast of thousands is OK for her concerts where people know what they are paying for. Fine, blow your cash on that. But for prime time TV seen all over the world? What are people in other nations supposed to think? That America is a trash superpower that exports this trash under the guise of entertainment?
Beyonce’s act was of course smutty.
However, ALL of American popular culture is vomit.
Turn that stuff off and it will feel like you took your head OUT of a garbage can!!
...with such as he the hypocrisy is damn near unbearable.
This has become an utterly rotten, corrupt and decayed culture.
I keep looking up for the big asteroid. Can't be long now.
Are you sure you’re at the right place? You sound exactly like a liberal with your ad hominem attack. Throwing out the race card. Telling someone they can’t have an opinion. Yeesh.
She’s a HOOCHY MAMA!
This country today loves this stuff.
We’re all jaded now and need little blue pills because so many women are so fat. (and men)
They should just run all those expensive commercials instead of a half time show.
PPPHHHHLLLLLLLAAAAARRRRRRRRRRTT!!!!!!!!
“Are you sure youre at the right place? You sound exactly like a liberal with your ad hominem attack. Throwing out the race card. Telling someone they cant have an opinion. Yeesh.”
Interestingly, you point out that you think I’m attacking the person, (which I freely admit I am), and saying he can’t have an opinion, (which I’m not), by attacking me, and saying I shouldn’t have an opinion.
Perhaps you should think before you post? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if they don’t consider that opinion before expressing it.
You are the one who tossed the race card on the table on the 2nd reply.
Sure sign of a libtard troll.
My brother travels ALL over the world in the aviation inspection industry and says just THAT.
Preople think we're more black than white because of sports and obama.
People think we're still the ugly American and we SHOULD be taken down
It IS what they see that forms their opinions.
“You are the one who tossed the race card on the table on the 2nd reply.
Sure sign of a libtard troll.”
And my opinion of you would get me banned, so I’ll simply call you a moron.
Did “The Donald” complain about Madonna? If you had more than two brain cells, you’d realize Trump is tied to the right, and making comments that can be construed as racist isn’t the way to win over the stupid American public. Of which, you seem to be a member in good standing.
That unknown stray asteroid impacting in the right place (DC) cannot come soon enough. That permanent liberal bureaucracy imperial city sucking the life out of the rambunctious provinces (states) via onerous taxation and onerous regulations
I was listening to Bill Cunningham on Sunday night radio. He asked the question, “am I the only one who thought Beyonce’s act was inappropriate for Super Bowl halftime?” Trump is now the second public personality I’ve heard say this.
No saint he, admittedly, but Cunningham was very clear that he objected to the venue. It boiled down to the fact that he was at a FAMILY gathering for the SB. The FAMILY gathering included four children, both sexes, between the ages of 1 and 14 yrs old. I think he said 4,7,11 and 14...or something close to that.
Went on to describe the moms who were extremely bothered by their kids watching this, and in that group setting. Said more than one of them pulled their kids away from the set and left the room with them in tow.
wow! Kinda what I suspected. Blacks are only 11% of population and Hispanics have surpassed them, are now the most populous minority group, but due to our entertainment exports who can blame them for thinking blacks are 60%?
What’s the big deal? Nowadays, five-year-olds make those moves.
I'd settle for a small one to land on K Street...
She is horrid in the picture, I liked it when women were women, and not afraid of it, and while saucy they still were classy (see below) not some androgynous estrogen eater taking muscle head...
More and more each day, I think America peaked in 1962 and it has been downhill ever since...

Photos say it all....Just look at Sophie Loren gazing at Jayne Mansfield’s assets
Looks to me that she is just worried the pair will suddenly jump out and snatch her souffle’>
I expected nothing better, so I switched to the Puppy Bowl as soon as the first half of the game ended.
Beencee is truly disgusting.
She is a talentless whore.
She represents what America has become quite well.
Donald Trump is right.

Trump is right.
But his personal friend’s daughter is Paris Hilton.
He thinks she is lovely, though she fellated guys on video for PR purposes.
It was soft porn on display, so the Donald called it as he sees it.
Decent people need to avoid the NFL.
LOL...exactly what I was thinking! She looks more frightened than impressed.
As if this was the first inappropriate halftime show, “Wardrobe Malfunction”, anyone?
Who could blame them? If I were a foreigner who defined America solely by its perverted and putrid entertainment culture, and then al-qaeda came along and nuked the USA, I’d probably be cheering right alongside them.
American culture has been degenerating for decades, but it’s now pretty much down the level of an open sewer.
“Proud Slut Daughter” could work. first episode she could take part in the proud slut walk.
sophia was in that picture? i didn’t notice...
And he says this on the....Howard Stern Show?
Where’s the irony alert?
