DONALD TRUMP JR. STILL FUMING OVER BAD BUNNY’S SUPER BOWL LYRICS AND THE INTERNET IS NOT HAVING IT. (PHOTO).


Donald Trump Jr. still fuming over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl lyrics and the internet is not having it


Donald Trump Jr. sparked controversy on February 8 when he criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show on social media. 


While the performance was widely praised for blending Puerto Rican culture with mainstream entertainment, Trump Jr. objected to the lyrics of Safaera, citing them as evidence against claims that the show reflected “wholesome family values.” 


He referenced a Washington Post article that had praised the performance, accusing the outlet of being out of touch. 


Critics quickly pointed out that the explicit lyrics he highlighted were not actually performed during the halftime show, as those lines belong to Ñengo Flow in the studio version.


The backlash to Trump Jr.’s comments was swift, with many fans defending Bad Bunny’s performance as culturally significant and family‑friendly. 


Reviews noted that the show maintained a PG‑rated tone, with energetic but appropriate choreography. 


Despite this, President Donald Trump also weighed in, calling the performance “absolutely terrible” and “an affront to the Greatness of America” on his Truth Social platform. 


Conservative groups echoed his criticism, with Turning Point USA even staging an alternative halftime event featuring Kid Rock.


Not all conservatives agreed with the negative framing. Harrison Fields, a former White House deputy press secretary, defended the show, pointing out that Puerto Ricans are American citizens and highlighting his own grandmother’s heritage. 


Meanwhile, Bad Bunny himself avoided political commentary during the performance, focusing instead on delivering a vibrant, culturally rich show. 


The debate underscored how halftime performances often become flashpoints for broader cultural and political divides in the U.S.
