Trump will skip the Super Bowl (yaaaay!) and says he's "anti-them" of performers Bad Bunny and Green Day

Devastating news. Why even play now?

Trump's full quote on the performers, from that article: "I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."

He wants people to know, though, that the performers aren't keeping him away: "It’s just too far away. I would. I’ve gotten great hands for the Super Bowl, they like me."

So obvious he knows Bad Bunny and Green Day will get much more applause, and he's likely to get booed.

I doubt he has ever heard of them or the song. Seems the NFL is poking the fat bastard and doesn’t want him to attend.

He's not going to take the chance of getting booed on live TV.

the truth that he will never recognize then lets him know how it feels to do what he has been doing to them,

I will never be happy until I see this evil (my real words are too gross but still not bad enough for him) horror behind bars and miserable. ALL of us are just miserable, angry and we do not deserve to live this way. HE DOES NOT GET TO DO THIS TO ANYONE. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT, HE IS NOT SPECIAL.
