US President Donald Trump has revealed a major hint as to which half time show he watched during Super Bowl LX, issuing his assessment of what he saw on Sunday in a social media declaration.
Over 120 million people tuned in to watch Bad Bunny's half time performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday, yet for the first time in history there was a rival 'alternative' option, letting many protest their political objections to the Puerto Rican Grammy winner.
Orchestrated by Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA ran their very own 'All-American' half time show complete with a lineup of MAGA stars and headlined by Kid Rock — albeit with some notably embarrassing issues.
Where the Super Bowl achieved impressive numbers that you'd typically expect of America's biggest sporting event, its opposition also racked up 'shocking' viewership figures across its live streams on YouTube and right-wing Twitch alternative Rumble.

The performance on YouTube has just under 21 million views alone, and a spokesperson for Turning Point USA has suggested that this could more than double under the premise that multiple people watched each single stream, revealing plans already for another show next year.
It seems like Donald Trump wasn't within those 20 million plus viewers though according to a scathing statement on his social media, suggesting that even the president couldn't resist the allure of Bad Bunny on Sunday.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump declared: "The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence."
He then claimed that "nobody understands a word this guy is saying," and decried the "disgusting" dancing present within the show, deeming it to be inappropriate for "all the children that are watching from throughout the USA, and all over the World."
In classic Trump fashion he couldn't resist the opportunity to claim the supposed greatness of America right now, highlighting the "Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History" as a means to call Bad Bunny's 15-minute performance a 'slap in the face', alongside claiming that there is "nothing inspirational" about the show.
There has been no comment from the president since about Turning Point USA's alternative show, suggesting that he didn't watch it at the time and has not since caught up on YouTube despite clearly thinking so little of the official showcase.
