Trump posted a long critique on his Truth Social platform, kicking things off by saying Bunny's show — which the Puerto Rican entertainer sang in Spanish — was "absolutely terrible" and "one of the worst, EVER!"
The commander-in-chief also said Bunny's show didn't make any sense because nobody could understand a single word he was saying. What's more, Trump said the performance overall didn't represent American standards of "success, creativity, or excellence."
Trump continued to rant about Bunny, wrapping up his review by calling the show a "slap in the face to our country."
