President Trump has announced that he plans to skip next month's Super Bowl in California, citing the performers as the main reason for his decision. The halftime show is set to feature Latin pop star Bad Bunny and rock band Green Day.
Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the choice of performers, calling it "a terrible choice" that "sows hatred." He also criticized the NFL for its decision, stating that he doesn't know who the performers are and that their inclusion is "ridiculous."
The president's comments come after he has been openly critical of Bad Bunny since the performer was chosen last year to perform during the halftime show. Trump has repeatedly clashed with artists who have expressed liberal views or criticized his policies.
In a recent interview, Bad Bunny spoke out about his concerns regarding immigration and the potential for ICE agents to be present at his concerts in the US. The rapper also featured a Trump impersonation in one of his songs, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the two men.
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has also been critical of Trump on several occasions, likening him to Hitler and frequently changing the lyrics of their song "American Idiot" to reference Trump's presidency.
The Super Bowl is scheduled to take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8. The event will feature a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots-Denver Broncos championship games earlier that day.

. Trump skipping the Super Bowl? That's huge! I mean, who expects the President to just bail on an iconic event like that? And over some Latin pop and rock music? Come on! It's not like he's going to the Grammys or something. He's basically saying that these artists don't represent him... or America 
. Bad Bunny's been speaking out about immigration issues, which is super admirable, but I guess Trump doesn't appreciate being called out for his own policies 
. And Green Day? Forget about it! They're all-in on taking down Trump. It's like he wants to stir up some drama 
. Either way, I'm gonna be watching the Super Bowl and enjoying the halftime show 
.
! It's like, can't he just tune it out or watch something else during the Super Bowl instead of making a big deal out of it? I mean, Bad Bunny and Green Day are amazing performers and they totally deserve to rock that stage without some dude complaining about it 
. And honestly, who is Trump going to perform at his next rally instead? 
The halftime show should be about celebrating music and bringing people together, not about stirring up drama and controversy 
.
. Like, can't you just tune in if you're not a fan? 
What's next, is he gonna skip the Oscars or the Grammys too? 
. I get it, he's not a fan of their music, but come on, it's just a performance! 
Bad Bunny did speak out about immigration and ICE agents being at his concerts, and Green Day has been pretty vocal about their dislike for Trump too 
. But honestly, the real question is... what's next? Is he going to cancel the entire Super Bowl?! 
like they're gonna perform for millions of ppl & he's still salty about it 
. I hope Bad Bunny gets to perform anyway and slay the stage 
And what's with the criticism from the NFL too? They should be focusing on bringing people together, not getting caught up in politics 
. I hope Bad Bunny gets to perform at the Super Bowl and bring some positivity to the stage 
this is crazy news! Trump skipping the Super Bowl over Bad Bunny and Green Day? Interesting 
! And now I'm thinking they're gonna have to cancel or postpone the whole thing... which would be a total bummer for all those people who are planning on flying in from out of town 
. And can you imagine trying to figure out who's even playing? The NFL's gonna have to scramble to get someone else up on stage 
. And Green Day's all like "Hey, we're not afraid of him" which is actually kinda cool 
. But, can't we all just enjoy some good music and football without all the drama? 
The halftime show is supposed to be a celebration, not a platform for Trump to get his drama on 
And let's be real, if Trump's so concerned about "hatred" being sown by the halftime show, maybe he should focus on his own words and actions instead of others'
