Donald Trump went off on Truth Social after the halftime show, calling Bad Bunny’s performance “one of the worst EVER” and “a slap in the face to America.” He criticized the Spanish-language performance, the dancing, and said it didn’t reflect U.S. “standards of success or excellence.” Bad Bunny’s set celebrated Latino culture — and the internet quickly split.
