Trump Slams Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show as “Un-American”

                                                       Bad Bunny and Donald Trump  Former President Donald Trump sharply criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it “a slap in the face” to the United States. In a post-game reaction, Trump argued that the Spanish-language performance failed to represent American culture and claimed it was inappropriate for a national event watched by millions of families. His comments quickly ignited debate, with supporters echoing concerns about cultural representation and critics accusing him of dismissing the diversity that defines modern American entertainment. Bad Bunny, one of the world’s most streamed artists, has not publicly responded, but the conversation around the show continues to dominate post–Super Bowl chatter.

Black Friday shoppers pulling back on spending

 

 According to a survey by the National Retail Federation, Black Friday sales in the U.S. dropped by 28% compared to 2019, as shoppers avoided crowded stores and opted for online shopping instead.

Here ate the main reasons cited for this trend:

  • Online shopping surge: Online sales on Black Friday reached a record $9 billion, up 21.6% from last year, according to Adobe Analytics. Cyber Monday is expected to be the biggest online shopping day in U.S. history, with sales projected to reach $10.8 billion.
  • Pandemic impact: The coronavirus pandemic has changed consumer behavior and preferences, as people seek convenience, safety, and value. Many retailers have extended their sales period and offered curbside pickup or free delivery options to attract customers.
  • Holiday season outlook: Despite the lower turnout on Black Friday, the NRF predicts that overall holiday sales will increase by 3.6% to 5.2% over 2019, reaching between $755.3 billion and $766.7 billion. However, the uncertainty around the pandemic and the economy could affect consumer confidence and spending.
