Donald Trump Declines Super Bowl Invitation, Blames Artists for Distance and Denounces "Terrible Choice"
President Donald Trump has announced that he won't be attending this year's Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. In an interview with the New York Post, the president stated that he wouldn't make the trip due to the immense distance from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
"I've got great hands at the Super Bowl," Trump said, "They like me." However, when asked about the possibility of attending, he replied, "I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter."
Trump's decision not to attend the big game is further complicated by his vocal criticism of this year's halftime show performers, including Green Day and Bad Bunny. The president described the NFL's choices as a "terrible choice" that promotes hatred.
"I'm anti-them," Trump said, making it clear that he has no intention of supporting these artists. He also expressed disappointment with the selection process, claiming that Bad Bunny is unknown to him and that the halftime show is "crazy."
Trump's comments on Green Day are particularly noteworthy, given that the band's lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, has been an outspoken critic of Trump's administration in the past. In response to a recent ICE shooting in Minnesota, Armstrong stated, "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda. I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda."
The president's Super Bowl snub is another example of his tendency to stir controversy through his words and actions. Whether or not Trump will change his mind about attending the big game remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: he won't be silenced by the distance between him and Levi's Stadium.

- I mean, it's not every day you get to rub shoulders with the NFL elite. But at the same time, I can see why he'd want to distance himself from Green Day and Bad Bunny... their music isn't really his vibe 
. Maybe he just wants to keep a low profile for once? 
Can't even attend a sporting event without stirring up drama. I mean, come on, 3,000 miles is a bit of an excuse for not showing up to one of the most-watched events in the world. And now he's going on about how much he loves his "great hands" at the Super Bowl... um, Donald, do you really think anyone cares about your hand size? 
IT'S JUST A GAME, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHO CARES IF HE GOES OR NOT?! BUT SERIOUSLY, HE'S TALKING TRASH ABOUT THE ARTISTS AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO DO THEIR THING. I GUESS WHEN YOU'RE USED TO BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT ALL THE TIME LIKE HIM, IT CAN GET HARD TO DEAL WITH NOT GETTING YOUR WAY. BUT STILL, A LITTLE BIT OF CLASS WOULD'VE BEEN NICE 
maybe shuld just charter a plane or somethin 
and whats up wit these hate comments tho? cant we all just enjoy the halftime show w/o bringin in all the drama 
and man, have you ever tried to find cell service in the middle of nowhere? It's like, zero signal 
! We spent hours driving around looking for a decent spot to grab some wifi so we could Facetime our friends back home. I swear, it was like living in the Wild West 
. Anyway, what's up with this Super Bowl thing? I'm more of a football fan during the playoffs, not so much during the regular season... 
he needs to chill out his gonna make himself look like a total loser by skipping the super bowl 
. It's all about control and perception for Trump. 
. Will he change his mind about attending the Super Bowl? Who knows? But one thing's for sure - it's gonna be a wild ride 
.
. But then again, Trump can be super particular about things...and those artists he's trashing? Not exactly on my radar either 
or just sticks to being all Trumpy 
. Can we please just focus on unity instead of division?
