The political gunpowder ended up exploding just minutes after the lights at Levi’s Stadium went out following the halftime show. President Donald Trump, following the event closely from his residence (after canceling his personal attendance), used his Truth Social platform to launch a frontal attack against Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny, raising cultural tension to levels not seen in decades within the framework of Super Bowl LX.<\/p>\n

With the vehemence that characterizes his direct communication, the president did not limit himself to aesthetic criticism, but went to the heart of the nation’s linguistic identity and family values.<\/p>\n

“The Super Bowl halftime show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst in history!” sentenced Trump in his first post on Truth Social<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, what resonated most in the Hispanic community was his direct allusion to the language barrier and the artistic style of the“Bad Rabbit<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The president added, “No one understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially to young children watching it all over the United States and around the world.”<\/p>\n

These statements strike a chord with the more than 60 million Hispanics in the country, suggesting that Spanish – or the lyrical variant of reggaeton – is an alien or incomprehensible element to the “real” America that his administration promotes under the MAGA slogan.<\/p>\n
