Millions of people around the world are looking forward to watching Rihanna perform during the Super Bowl LVII halftime show.

Donald Trump is not one of them. The former president spoke out on the popular entertainer this week on social media, all-capping his opinion that she has “NO TALENT!”

That’s quite a statement about a nine-time Grammy Award-winning singer who has sold more than 250 million records. Trump’s review of Rihanna came in a post on Truth Social. U.S. Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), noted that Rihanna had spray painted “F— Trump,” on a Texas roadside landmark, and she is “badmouthing America every chance she gets.” He added that “Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer.”

That’s when Trump jumped in to say, “Without her ‘Stylist’ she’d be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT!”


Really, is anyone surprised Trump said this? Those kinds of personal insults have worn thin even with many Republicans who once supported the former president. In fact, a recent poll found 61 percent of Americans, including 37 percent of Republicans, don’t want Trump running for president in 2024.

Ripping a singer who has sold a quarter of a billion records as having “NO TALENT!” probably will not improve those polling numbers.

The Twitterverse didn’t appreciate Trump’s comment.
