Donald Trump's rant against the Super Bowl halftime show is more about pulling attention back to him than anything else, an analyst has claimed.

The president made his feelings on the show known with a Truth Social rant mocking performer Bad Bunny and the reception he received. Behavioral and confidence expert Shelly Dar told The Mirror US that Trump's response to the Super Bowl halftime show continues a familiar pattern for him.

She said, "Trump isn’t simply saying, ‘I didn’t like it.'" Instead, "he’s saying, ‘This does not belong.’ That’s an important shift. The language jumps very fast from personal taste to national injury — an affront, a slap in the face, something framed as dangerous for children....

Gavin Newsom released a statement of his own to counter Donald Trump's furious smackdown of the Super Bowl halftime show.

Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny sparked much derision from the president Sunday night, who signed off on a furious statement on Truth Social. Trump wrote, "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.

"Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This 'Show' is just a 'slap in the face' to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! ...

Kid Rock's creepy comments about teenage girls have come back to haunt him.

His disturbing remarks from a Saturday Night Live appearance resurfaced this week, just days before the country singer was slated to perform at MAGA's alternate version of the Super Bowl halftime show, The Daily Beast reported.

During an April 2001 show, Kid Rock talked about how twins Mark Kate and Ashley Olsen "were old enough to pursue." The Olsens were actually 14 years old at the time. ...

President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump suggested herself as a performer in conservative counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show.

The Fox News host fielded questions on her podcast, "Right View With Lara Trump," and one listener asked who she would like to see perform at Turning Point USA's alternative to pop superstar Bad Bunny's concert at the NFL championship game, reported The Daily Beast.

“I know a lot of owners of NFL teams, a lot of people are upset about that,” Trump said. “I don’t know what the heck the NFL was thinking … We don’t need the NFL, we don’t need any of these woke losers to perform, we can have our own performance.”...

Taylor Swift is officially en route to Super Bowl LVIII after finishing her fourth and final concert at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday night. She’s now crossing nine time zones in her direct flight to Las Vegas, expecting to make it in time to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in the big game. Swift reportedly rushed to her jet at Haneda Airport after wrapping the Tokyo leg of her international Eras Tour and is already in the air for her 12-hour flight. The 14-time Grammy-winner will be joining both her family and Kelce’s in a luxury suite at Allegiant Stadium, for which Travis is reportedly f......

WASHINGTON — U.S. senators are doing something rare this weekend: Actually working.

Well, at least, some senators are. On Friday night only 83 of the Senate’s 100 members showed up for a late night vote, which is only compounding the tangible frustration at the Capitol as lawmakers have seen their schedules upended — including one senator who had to scrap her plan to attend the Super Bowl — over an internal GOP debate that’s now boiled over into public view.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is forcing his colleagues to stay in town this weekend and battle over a now $95.3 billion foreign aid package that includes funding for Taiwan, Israel and Gaza — a measure that included border security funding and reforms last weekend until the GOP killed that compromise measure — because Paul opposes the $60 billion in the measure earmarked for Ukraine. ...
