After a historic halftime performance, Bad Bunny is being hailed as a cultural representative of the United States, a distinction that recent polls suggest surpasses that of Donald Trump.
The Puerto Rican superstar headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show in Santa Clara, performing primarily in Spanish.
His set featured powerful messages of unity, including the words “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” displayed across the stadium screen. Millions watched as Bad Bunny delivered a performance praised for its energy, passion, and inclusivity.
However, Donald Trump publicly criticized the performance. On his social media platform, he called it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, ever,” claiming it failed to reflect traditional American values.
He added that the dancing and theatrics were “disappointing for families” and described the show as a “slap in the face” to the country.
Polls reveal shifting perceptions of national representation
In the wake of the event, a national poll asked Americans who they felt “better represents the United States.” Fortytwo percent chose Bad Bunny, while 39 percent selected Donald Trump.
This outcome indicates that while opinions remain divided, the entertainer’s performance resonated strongly with a broad audience.
Supporters praised Bad Bunny for his message of unity and cultural expression, saying it reflected values many feel define modern America.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump‘s critique appealed mainly to conservative voters who viewed the performance as inappropriate for the Super Bowl stage.
The contrast between the entertainer’s acclaim and the former president’s disapproval highlights the growing conversation around culture, representation, and national pride in the United States.
Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl appearance may be remembered not only for its musical impact but also for the statement it made about America’s evolving cultural identity.
