He called the performance \u201cabsolutely terrible\u201d and \u201cone of the worst ever,\u201d arguing it undermines American greatness and doesn\u2019t meet standards of success, creativity, or excellence. He claimed no one could understand the performer\u2019s words and that the dancing was inappropriate for children watching in the U.S. and around the world, and he even questioned the artist\u2019s attire and patriotism.<\/p>\n<p>The critique wasn\u2019t limited to Trump. Megyn Kelly joined the discussion, suggesting she prefers an English-language performance and sharing a post that echoed disappointment with the show\u2019s language. Others joined in, including Jon Root, who argued that an entirely Spanish-language halftime show with flags of other nations was a political statement and predicted Bad Bunny would be remembered as the worst halftime show in NFL history, saying America deserved better for its 250th birthday. The language barrier was a common point of attack, with several remarks emphasizing that most Americans speak English and might struggle to enjoy a performance in a language they don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n<p>Additional social-media commentary echoed the same sentiment: questions about whether any English was spoken, complaints about Americans\u2019 ability to enjoy a show in another language, and assertions that English should be the language of America. Some posts framed the performance as an insult or abomination, while others criticized the NFL\u2019s choices and called for making the country\u2019s standards great again.<\/p>\n<p>(Note: The original text includes various on-page scripts, form elements, and unrelated code fragments; this paraphrase focuses on the core narrative and reactions to the halftime show and related commentary.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2567834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-643.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50410,4298,73352,73351],"class_list":["post-2567833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-controversy-2","tag-disgusting","tag-slapintheface","tag-superbowlhalftime"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-643.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2567833"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567833\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2567837,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567833\/revisions\/2567837"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2567834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2567833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2567833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2567833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
