The president framed the halftime show as a slap in the face to America at a time when the country is setting new records every single day, including the best stock market and 401(k)s in history.
"There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show," Trump said. He predicted it would get great reviews from the fake news media "because they haven't got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD."
Trump also took a shot at the NFL, demanding they immediately replace the ridiculous new kickoff rule.
JUST IN: Trump says the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show was one of the worst “EVER,” says the dancing was disgusting and says no one could understand what he was saying.

This is classic Trump. While everyone else pretends the halftime show was groundbreaking, the president said what millions of Americans were thinking. It was inappropriate, incomprehensible, and a waste of time on the biggest stage in sports.
The Super Bowl is watched by families across the country. Kids are glued to the screen. And instead of something uplifting and unifying, the NFL gave them a performance that Trump called disgusting.
The media will defend it. They will call Trump's criticism hateful or out of touch. But Americans know better. They saw what the president saw. And they agree.
