Donald Trump was initially angry over the decision to feature Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl halftime show. But then, as Bad Bunny performed, Trump’s rage worsened: In a furious rant, he claimed the show was a “slap in the face” to our country, that Bad Bunny’s use of Spanish means “nobody understands a word this guy is saying,” and that the show was “absolutely terrible.” Other MAGA figures fumed that the show was a betrayal of America. Meanwhile, CNN polling guru Harry Enten details in a new analysis that Trump is bleeding support from his working-class base, which he describes as “collapsing.” What if those two developments—Trump-MAGA fury at the show and Trump losing his base—are related? We talked to Adrian Carrasquillo, author of The Bulwark’s excellent newsletter Huddled Masses. We discuss how Trump-MAGA are in a bubble about Bad Bunny’s show, how most Americans likely viewed it, why Trump’s ICE raids and hostility to immigrants are costing him working-class support, and how that wrecks various myths about 2024.
