Trump Was Told to Skip the Super Bowl so He Wasn’t Boo’ed Mercilessly: Report

  • On Tuesday, Zeteo reported President Donald Trump will skip Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, as aides feared he would be booed and create unwanted viral clips.
  • Advisers quietly determined the risk of boos was high, with several aides concluding this in recent months, while Trump objected to Grammy-winning artist Bad Bunny and Green Day and called the game too 'woke', the New York Post reported.
  • Last month in Miami he received mixed applause and jeers, and in June 2025 both Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were booed at the Les Miserables opening.
  • Advisers warned a booing episode would generate viral clips and unwanted coverage, so unnamed White House officials framed the choice as strategic, with the president attending NASCAR's Daytona 500 shortly after in The Beast.
  • In today's politically polarized America, location can shape reception more than the event, as Eric Bolling, former Fox News host, told Zeteo, `There was a time when the Super Bowl was neutral territory for presidents. That line has blurred even disappeared.
