Donald Trump might be sitting this yr’s Tremendous Bowl out.

The polarizing Commander-in-Chief — who has attended sporting occasions previously similar to skilled soccer video games and UFC fights — mentioned within the Oval Workplace on Friday that he’ll NOT be attending this yr’s matchup between convention winners within the NFL.

There seems to be two causes for this choice.

“It’s simply too distant. I’d. I’ve gotten nice fingers for the Tremendous Bowl, they like me,” Trump mentioned in an interview with the New York Put up on January 23. “I’d go if, you understand, it was a bit bit shorter.”

For the time being, President Trump has just a few issues extra urgent to fret about than the time he’d be within the air for this recreation… most notably ICE brokers committing a transparent homicide in Minnesota over the weekend.

They’re patriots, nonetheless, in keeping with Trump.

Which is greater than he can say concerning the two major musical acts set for the Tremendous Bowl stage.

Whereas Trump blamed his potential absence on the lengthy flight, it’s no secret he’s not psyched about this yr’s halftime performers, Unhealthy Bunny and Inexperienced Day, each of whom supported Kamala Harris in 2024.

“I’m anti-them. I feel it’s a horrible alternative. All it does is sow hatred. Horrible,” Trump informed the aforementioned outlet.

Loads of Republicans are offended about the collection of Unhealthy Bunny, who’s a Puerto Rico native and who has been an outspoken critic of this administration’s view towards immigrants.

The 31-year-old — who, for the document, is an American citizen — mentioned on the SNL stage in October that he was “excited” to be named the headlining act for the massive recreation at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

He then made a pointy joke at these critics’ expense.

The artist broke out his native tongue for a 30-second message that went as follows… in Spanish:

“Particularly all the Latinos and Latinas on the earth right here in the US who’ve labored to open doorways. It’s greater than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution on this nation, nobody will ever be capable of take that away or erase it.”

The music producer then teased the non-Spanish audio system, telling them they wanted to review the language to benefit from the upcoming efficiency.

“In case you didn’t perceive what I simply mentioned. You’ve gotten 4 months to be taught,” he quipped.

After the artists had been introduced in October, Trump informed NewsMax he’s “by no means heard of” Unhealthy Bunny, who has practically 84 million month-to-month listeners on Spotify, calling the selection “ridiculous.”

Inexperienced Day’s lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, has additionally referred to as out Trump’s administration as a “fascist authorities,” telling his viewers at a live performance:

“It’s as much as us to struggle again.”
