After singer Bad Bunny received harsh criticism from President Donald Trump, the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” came to the Puerto Rican star’s defense. “It’s all so performative,” Kimmel said about Trump.
The U.S. president called Bunny’s show “absolutely terrible,” saying it was one of the worst he had ever seen. He also stated that the performance was an insult to the greatness of the United States.
“‘Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for the children watching all across the U.S. and around the world,’” Trump complained.
Kimmel mocked the fact that Trump was supposedly outraged on behalf of children, while his name has been mentioned in thousands of documents related to the Epstein case, which involved multiple cases of abuse of minors.
Commenting on Bad Bunny’s performance, the late-night talk show host praised the Puerto Rican singer’s positive message.
“Half of us saw a moving story about immigrants who dreamed of coming to America, working hard, getting married, growing up, raising families, singing, dancing, playing backgammon,” he said.
Kimmel also joked about the parallel version of the Super Bowl halftime show organized by Turning Point USA, featuring Kid Rock.
“Not even Donald Trump watched Kid Rock’s halftime show. He watched Bad Bunny,” he said. “He wanted to make sure he hated him as much as he thought he would — and he did.”
