President Donald Trump is sharing his thoughts on Bad Bunny being named the headliner of the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
On Monday (October 6), Trump, 79, appeared on Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Reports where he was asked about a potential “boycott” of the NFL after it was announced that the 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar will be performing at the big sports event in February 2026.

“I think it’s absolutely ridiculous,” he added.
After claiming not to know Bad Bunny, Trump went on to slam the NFL for their new kickoff rules, which were made permanent at the start of the 2025 season.
According to the new rules, per the NFL, the ball is kicked from the kicking team’s 35-yard line, but every player on the kicking team, other than the kicker himself, now lines up with at least one foot on the returning team’s 40-yard line. Players must also wait to move until the ball hits the ground or is touch by a returner inside the 20-yard line.
“While we’re at it, I’d like for them to change the kickoff rule, which looks ridiculous,” Trump argued. “Where the ball is kicked and the ball is floating in the air and everyone is standing there watching it.”
He continued, “It’s not any safer than the regular kickoff. I think it just looks so terrible. I think it really demeans football, to be honest with you. It’s a great game. But it demeans football.”
Bad Bunny addressed the Halftime Show backlash while hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
