Quick question: Did anyone listen to the lyrics of either of these songs?

Complaint: Although I could not understand a word of the performance, I do know they were trying to bad mouth
the Trump Administration. I highly suggest that someone review what is being sung or said during
halftime. People want to be entertained. There is no reason to have someone give their opinions.
Over half the country voted for President Trump. You should respect that.
