President Donald Trump sharply criticized a U.S. Olympic athlete as a “loser” during a Super Bowl weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort, while as well denouncing the halftime show performance by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny as “disgusting” and “an affront” to the country, according to posts on his social media account.
The criticism came as Trump held an official meeting with Honduran President Nasry Asfura on February 7th, discussing security, drug trafficking, and deportation, according to the Palm Beach Post. The former president’s weekend was also marked by renewed controversy over a racist social media post depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Footage circulating online showed Trump and guests at his Mar-a-Lago golf club watching Bad Bunny’s halftime show during Super Bowl 60, despite his subsequent condemnation of the performance. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in the championship game.
Trump’s comments on Bad Bunny, who performed exclusively in Spanish, focused on the language barrier and the nature of the dancing. “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for the young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,” he wrote. This echoed sentiments expressed by some conservative commentators who criticized the show for its cultural representation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, urged Americans to get vaccinated against measles amid rising cases and outbreaks across several states. This appeal comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Has previously expressed skepticism about vaccines, creating a tension within the administration’s public health messaging. As of February 10, 2026, there have been 803 confirmed cases nationally, putting the country on track to surpass the 2025 total.
South Carolina is experiencing a particularly severe outbreak, with 920 cases reported, though officials indicate the rate of increase may be slowing. The U.S. Risks losing its measles elimination status, according to health officials.
In other news, the Trump administration launched “TrumpRx,” an online drug marketplace intended to offer lower prices on prescription medications. However, experts note that the program primarily benefits those who pay cash, excluding the majority of Americans with health insurance, and may not count towards deductibles. Many of the drugs offered through TrumpRx have cheaper generic alternatives already available, including Tikosyn (antiarrhythmic) at $672 versus a generic version for $36, and Pristiq (antidepressant) at $200 versus a generic version for $20.
Congress recently passed funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at a level comparable to the previous budget cycle, preventing further program cuts. Hospital-acquired infections continue to decline, suggesting the effectiveness of strengthened infection control practices implemented during the pandemic. Early data from a Phase II trial also indicates a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine sustained a 49% reduction in melanoma recurrence or death at five years.
