Trump skips Super Bowl, blasts halftime performers

The president isn’t just skipping the Super Bowl. He’s turning his back on the biggest TV event in America—and blasting the stars headlining it. In a stunning interview, Donald Trump revealed why he’s staying home, then unleashed on Bad Bunny and Green Day, accusing them of spreading hate.

Donald Trump’s decision to skip Super Bowl 60 is more than a travel preference; it’s a deliberate political and cultural snub. Publicly, he shrugs it off as “too far away,” but his real target is the show itself. With Green Day opening and Bad Bunny taking the halftime stage, Trump has framed the event as a platform for artists who “sow hatred” toward him and his movement, insisting, “I’m anti-them.”

The artists, for their part, aren’t backing down. Bad Bunny has used his music to imagine Trump apologizing to immigrants and to defend the people Trump’s policies have often vilified. Green Day has spent years turning their concerts into anti-MAGA rallies, warning of “slipping into fascism” and likening Trump’s appeal to something far darker. Now, Super Bowl Sunday has become more than a game: it’s the latest battlefield in America’s never-ending culture war.
