Donald Trump called the NFL's decision to give the Super Bowl halftime show to Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny 'crazy'.
The president told Newsmax that he was unfamiliar with the 31-year-old musician but that the NFL was wrong to give him the prestigious gig given his previously stated dislike for Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
'I never heard of him, I don't know who he is, I don't know why they're doing it, it's like, crazy,' the president said.
He also felt that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was blaming the decision 'on some promoter they hired.'
'I think it's absolutely ridiculous,' Trump added, before tacking on his long-held complaint that the league's new kickoff rules are ruining the sport.
The rapper - who was born Benito Antonio Martinez - was the host of 'Saturday Night Live' this week and during his opening monologue, he addressed his haters.
'You might not know this but I'm doing the Super Bowl halftime show and I'm very happy and I think everyone is happy about it - even Fox News,' Bad Bunny said.
A heavily-edited clip then played, stitching together the comments of various Fox anchors and pundits so that they said: 'Bad Bunny is my favorite musician and he should be the next president.'

Aw, that’s what he said about elementary school children forced to attend drag queen shows in the auditoriums.
You just can’t please that fellow Trump. /S
The NFL needs to cancel him.
I hope there is a nationwide rebellion and boycott against the NFL and the Super Bowl over the hiring of this offensive jackass.
I truly hope it is the lowest rated Super Bowl in history.
To me, rap has more comedic value than anything else.
Trump should hold invite some MAGA entertainers (country/western, gospel, Tex Mex, etc) to the White House and let them perform at half time and broadcast on X and Truth Social.
People are going to watch the game.
The half time show, not so much...which is where the advertisers want people’s eyes.
Poor folks in the stands are the ones who will suffer, booing with nacho filled mouths.
I dunno...haven’t seen a half time show in years...will probably switch over to watch African waterhole videos on Youtube...or how a million catfish are turned into nuggets...
For anyone who wants to get into the weeds...

Can you say makegoods, boys and girls?
I knew you could!
From May, ChiComcast spinning like Linda Blair on the demographics...
Those numbers they’re celebrating suck.
I stopped watching the NFL years ago. They are woke F$cks.
I never started watching NFL. I’ve probably seen 6-8 entire games in my life. Maybe.
I was a huge NASCAR fan but they lost me in the Bubba Wallace kerfuffle.
Now, when I see a NASCAR race, I’m kinda bored. I’ve got far better things to do with my life.
Of the teams I like, only the Eagles stand a decent chance to make it to the Bad Bunny Bowl. I’m hoping they don’t make it so there would be zero temptation to watch the game.

Ridiculous?? Trump is restraining his tongue. How about morally degenerate and evil?
NFL needs the DISTRACTION.
When you got refs attempting to decide the outcomes of games like last night’s Kansas City Swifties game, then they need this drama queen to add some smoke and mirrors.
I think the Swifties may be really bad, even after affecting two TD’s, it could not get them a win over the Jags.

it’s getting dimmer by the day
I am not sure who the TARGET AUDIENCE that this bad Bunny person will attract.
Last year they chose “The Weekend” which is mostly young black people (I suspect).
The NFL is primarily watched by men. You can tell by the advertisements. The commercials are primarily targeting men.
Just like if you watch “The View” the ads all target liberal women housewife’s(Karen’s).
Who are the trying to get to watch the halftime show?
I suspect they were really trying to get Taylor Swift, but she would not do the show for for and give up the rights to the broadcast. So, they had to go with their second , third or even fourth, fifth choice.
Some other network should advertise a HALFTIME SHOW just like In Living Color did years ago.
love this. thanks.
thanks again.
