This week, Karoline Leavitt said Donald Trump “would much prefer” watching a 55-year-old man, who once sang about underaged girls, perform at Turning Point USA’s “alternate” halftime show. Kid Rock was recently exposed for saying, “The Olsen Twins. Why is every guy waiting for these chicks to turn 18? I mean, you know what I’m saying? If there’s grass on the field, play ball!”

In a surprise to absolutely no one, Trump’s preference for Kid Rock over Super Bowl halftime headliner Bad Bunny, Spotify’s most-streamed artist globally in 2025, comes as the White House and Trump stonewalled the release of the Epstein files and demanded Americans “get on to something else” after the Epstein files continue to mention Trump and his buddies.  

While the White House focuses on everything except improving the economy for working families, the cost of hosting a Super Bowl party for 10 people this year is $167 — up 7.2% compared to last year — and more than double the national inflation rate over the past year. Americans have consistently ranked the cost of groceries as one of their top concerns, with one poll showing that half of Americans indicated they found it difficult to pay for food, and 55% blame Donald Trump for high prices. 

In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement: 

“While Americans tune into the Super Bowl with family and friends, Donald Trump and the MAGA elites are such snowflakes that they had to put on their own halftime show headlined by a washed-up rap-rocker who sang about pursuing underage girls instead of watching one of America’s biggest superstars. Americans want to sit down and enjoy football — not be divided by another one of Trump’s culture wars. As everyday Americans struggle with high prices and a tanking job market, Trump’s priorities continue to be in the wrong place.”
