President Trump confirmed he’s not attending the Super Bowl this year, complaining about the slate of performers and saying it ultimately came down to the distance he’d have to travel.

Trump told The New York Post during an Oval Office interview that he wasn’t pleased with the selection of Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny for the halftime show, or with the addition of Green Day for the opening ceremony. Both bands have made statements against the Trump administration and their policies.

“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” the president said. He also noted that his reason for skipping was that the Super Bowl is being played this year in California.

“It’s just too far away. I would. I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me,” Trump told NY Post. “I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.”

Trump made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl while in office last year when he watched the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. That game took place in New Orleans.

Trump already said it was “absolutely ridiculous” that Bad Bunny was selected to perform at Super Bowl LX this year.

“This guy does not seem like a unifying entertainer and a lot of folks don’t even know who he is,” Newsmax’s Greg Kelly said during a phone interview in October, as The Daily Wire previously reported. Kelly asked Trump if people should “entertain blowing off the NFL.”

“I never heard of him. I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it, it’s crazy, and then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Trump added.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, had already said he refused to perform in the United States due to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration laws.

Ocasio referred to ICE agents as “motherf***ers” and “sons of b****es” in a video he posted to Instagram.

The three-time Grammy Award-winner said during an interview that he didn’t book any tour stops in the United States because he was worried ICE agents would target concert attendees.

“There was the issue of — like, f***ing ICE could be outside. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”

Social media users also pointed out that none of Bad Bunny’s songs are in English. He later addressed the backlash he and the NFL received following the announcement, advising viewers to learn Spanish if they didn’t like it.

Congressman Maxwell Frost says he was the victim of a racially motivated attack at a Hollywood party late Friday night, when a party crasher punched him in the face after saying President Donald Trump would “deport” him.

The Florida Democrat claimed he was assaulted at the Park City High West Saloon during the Creative Artists Agency’s (CAA) Sundance Film Festival party.

“Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off,” Frost wrote in an X post. “The individual was arrested and I am okay. Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.”

According to that report, the suspect had crashed the CAA party and “shocked” partygoers in the venue’s restroom by ranting about how proud he was of being white. The Park City Police Department issued a statement identifying the suspect as Christian Young and stating that Young had been detained after he “unlawfully entered a private party.”

“Once inside the saloon, Young assaulted Florida Congressman Maxwell Frost and a female who was attending the private event,” the police statement continued, noting that Young had been apprehended with an administrative pass to the film festival that had someone else’s name on it, and that he had attempted to gain access to the party and had jumped a barrier fence when he was turned away. He jumped back over the fence when he was spotted, but reportedly jumped it a second time and managed to gain access without being seen.

When he was apprehended, Young reportedly told police that he had no recollection of what had happened and could not recall his own name — despite answering to that name when police addressed him. The 28-year-old was charged with two counts of assault and one count of aggravated burglary.

Critics were not entirely convinced by the story, however, recalling actor Jussie Smollett’s false claims about a racially motivated attack in January 2019. Dozens of replies contained references to Smollett and claims that Frost was making up his story.

Witnesses, according to Salt Lake City’s Fox affiliate, corroborated Frost’s story and recalled Young saying, “we are going to deport you and your kind.” Witnesses also say Young approached a woman with Frost and told her “you are the kind we are going to deport.”
