Up to 60 million actually speak Spanish — there are lots of people who have studied it in school, after all. And there are others too. I have four nieces and nephews who grew up in Bolivia and are fluent Spanish speakers, even though that’s not their first language at home.

And Trump will never comprehend that so many of us that can’t speak Spanish can still embrace the moment. Enjoy the skill and joy and accept the cultural significance gladly.

"...24 million people in Mexico tuned in. I’m guessing most of them were able to figure out what Bad Bunny was saying." I'm in Mexico and was watching with a native Mexican who was complaining he couldn't understand a word. Good stuff nevertheless 😁

And it clearly doesn't matter what Trump says - he still has their votes. "In fact, four of the six states with the highest percentages of Spanish speakers voted for Trump in the most recent election."

We could take this time to have a little humility and realize we are one of very few countries that the majority of people only speak one language, and then do something systemically that will help us stay competitive but nah, just gonna bitch and moan

Bilingual elementary schools are flourishing. And they are life changing for the kids. My son, now 28, is about to move to Antwerp and learn his 5th language. Very un-American

I can't imagine how powerful an image it would have been if Bad Bunny had thrown a roll of paper towels to a fat white guy in a blue suit and a red tie, or a bald guy screaming 'America is for Americans,' or a masked guy in an ICE costume.

As an older folk myself, it’s an older folk thing to a large degree having to do with not understanding rap type speak. Also, Spanish sounds differently depending on which country you learned the language. But the music gets the old body moving.

I have to be honest ,the Superbowl halftime show was not my cup of tea. I suppose being a 64 year old white man that was always going to be the case. That said Trump displayed his complete lack of class in criticizing the show. I'm sure millions love Bad Bunny ,good luck to them .
