Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney was in the Oval Office yesterday, visiting Donald Trump and trying to manipulate Trump the same way Europe’s leaders have been doing all year. I have no idea if it worked, but one interesting thing is that Trump looked like hell, and his cankles were really swollen and his right hand was once again really discolored. The bad news is that the White House now controls how photographers are positioned for these photo sprays, so there aren’t many pics of the cankles or the bruised hand. Meanwhile, they finally got Trump on the record about Bad Bunny being selected as the Super Bowl Halftime performer. MAGA has been throwing the funniest and dumbest tantrum about this for more than a week, and this is all Trump could manage:
President Donald Trump has some thoughts on Bad Bunny being chosen to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show. The president called into Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Reports on Tuesday, and was asked by the host if football fans should consider “blowing off the NFL” for selecting the Puerto Rican performer, a decision that was announced on Sept. 28.
“This guy does not seem like a unifying entertainer, and a lot of folks don’t even know who he is,” Kelly said.
“I never heard of him. I don’t know who he is,” Trump replied. “I don’t know why they’re doing it, it’s crazy, and then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
Trump’s comments follow days of online backlash, most of it focused on the fact that Bad Bunny — real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — performs primarily in Spanish and was born and raised in Puerto Rico. (Native residents of the Caribbean island have been U.S. citizens since 1917.)
“…Then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment…” Is he… talking about Roc Nation? The whole reason why the NFL hired Roc Nation to do the Halftime show is because the NFL was tired of everyone criticizing their boring-ass whitewashed choices. Maroon 5 was the breaking point, correct? Yes, I just looked it up. That was the same year. Since Roc Nation came on board in 2019 (post-Maroon 5), the Halftime Show has been elite. Bad Bunny is going to be amazing, and I really appreciate that Benito, the NFL and Roc Nation all seem to be digging in rather than backing down. They expected the backlash. The NFL – still a pretty conservative organization – is perfectly willing to piss off Trump and his cult for Bad Bunny. Oh, and MAGA keeps threatening to boycott the Super Bowl! Trump isn’t down with that though, which is even funnier.

Of course he hasn’t. He’s 80 years old and lives in a gold plated fake reality.
The Trump lineage is top heavy with dementia diagnoses. He is not going to escape it based on his red flag behavior.
well now you have…and you have four months to learn Spanish 😀
I wish I had never heard of Donald Trump.
Amen, sister!
Amen.
Lol my favourite comment today!
I am loving these comments, lol
Of course Trump knows who he is and that’s just his lame pivot. At the end of the day these poor stooges want to be with the cool kids but no one is willing to let them sit at their table. Seeing these “culture wars” play out and constantly won is a great strategy because it gets so much under their skin. Sure call S Miller a fascist and he doesn’t care. Call him a short short D loser and the guy is suddenly offended
MAGA are such weak snowflakes. They’re all crashing out over a Super Bowl halftime show in Spanish. It might kill them! Good! I hope it does. I’m thinking of learning Spanish just to annoy them.
It’s interesting to note that Bad Bunny is both an American citizen and a Christian. “This guy doesn’t seem like a unifying entertainer” Yeah nothing says unity like zip tying children, labeling American citizens as enemies of the state, disappearing people, and getting your Supreme Court to okay racial profiling. But do lecture us Kankles McRib on the importance of unity at this moment in history.
“No one knows more about unity than me” Kankles McRib after destroying the planet so his billionaire friends can make it to trillionaire status.
This is petty, but the patch of yellow-orange makeup on his otherwise un-madeup hands is a sign of bad decisionmaking.
