US President Donald Trump on Sunday sharply criticized global music star Bad Bunny over his appearance during Super Bowl broadcast programming, calling the segment “disgusting” and “a slap in the face” to the nation.

“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the USA, and all over the world,” Trump wrote.
Language and content under fire
Trump focused his criticism on both the Spanish-language lyrics and the choreography, saying the segment reflected a broader cultural decline rather than entertainment worthy of the Super Bowl stage.
He framed the appearance as inconsistent with what he described as American values, arguing that the event should showcase family-friendly content during one of the country’s most widely viewed broadcasts.
Online backlash and support
The comments quickly sparked polarized reactions online. Supporters praised Trump for voicing concerns about sexualized content and cultural standards in mainstream media. Critics accused him of dismissing artistic expression and targeting non-English-language performers in a multicultural society.
