Summary
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that President Donald Trump prefers to watch the Turning Point USA halftime show, headlined by Kid Rock, over the official Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. Leavitt also stated that the president is not picking a team to win the game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, but as a native New Hampshire girl, she is rooting for the Patriots.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Conservatives were concerned about Bad Bunny’s values, and Turning Point USA decided to plan its own “All-American” halftime show with Kid Rock.
The president’s preference for Kid Rock over Bad Bunny wasn’t surprising, given the controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s performance.
Leavitt’s statement about the president’s lack of interest in picking a team to win the game was also predictable, as presidents often avoid taking sides.
This one felt recognizable early, as the controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s performance had been building up for weeks.
Original observation: The president’s preference for Kid Rock over Bad Bunny is a classic case of “optics over substance.”
