Trump will not attend Super Bowl, says he’s ‘anti’ Bad Bunny and Green Day

Trump made history last year by being the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl when he watched Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that he won’t be attending this year’s Super Bowl on Feb. 8 in California.

He told the New York Post that the game is “just too far away” while voicing his opinions about performers Bad Bunny, who will lead the halftime festivities, and Green Day, who are scheduled to kick off the big game with an opening ceremony.

“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump said.

Trump, 79, said he might have attended the 60th Super Bowl, being played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., if the distance was closer.

Trump made history last year by being the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny previously explained that part of the reason he did a Puerto Rico residency and didn’t tour in the U.S. last year was because “f—ing ICE could be outside (my concert). And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”

“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate — I’ve performed there many times,” he said in an interview with I-D.

“All of (the shows) have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S. But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the U.S. … people from the U.S. could come here to see the show,” he added.
