Trump Explodes on Truth Social
Donald Trump didnโt hold back.
On Friday, the former president took to Truth Social to obliterate Bruce Springsteen, calling the rock legend โhighly overrated,โ โa pushy jerk,โ and โnot a talented guy.โ
His rant came just two days after Springsteen torched Trumpโs administration during a concert in Manchester, England.
Springsteen Lights Up UK Crowd
From the stage, Springsteen called Trumpโs administration โcorrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.โ
He told the cheering British audience that โthe America I loveโฆ is currently in the hands of a corrupt administration.โ
Calling for resistance, he urged fans to โrise with usโ and โlet freedom ringโ against what he labeled authoritarian rule.
Trump Rips Springsteen as a โPruneโ
Trump responded with trademark fire, saying Springsteen โought to keep his mouth shut until he gets back into the country.โ
He called the singer a โdried out pruneโ with โatrophied skinโ and blasted him for blindly supporting โCrooked Joe Biden.โ
The post accused Springsteen of being too โdumbโ to realize whatโs happening in America โ or worse, willfully ignoring it.
Old Grudge, New Stage
This isnโt their first clash.
Springsteen has long opposed Trump, calling him โthe most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetimeโ in a 2024 campaign video.
That video backed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, both of whom lost to Trump in last yearโs election.
Rocker Turned Activist
Springsteen didnโt stop with words.
He joined the Harris campaign for a concert tour through battleground states in the final weeks of the 2024 race.
Trumpโs team mocked the events as โcelebrity distractions.โ
Trump Doubles Down on Insults
The feud escalated Friday with Trumpโs latest insults.
He ridiculed Springsteenโs looks, intelligence, and politics. He said Springsteen โnever had talentโ and only gained fame through liberal press hype.
Trump also accused the rocker of disrespecting the presidency while standing on foreign soil.
Battle Lines Drawn for 2025
With the next election looming, the Trump-Springsteen feud represents more than personal insults.
Itโs a battle between two visions of America โ one shouted from the campaign trail, the other sung from stadium stages.
As Springsteen continues his โLand of Hopes and Dreamsโ tour across Europe, Trump is rallying supporters for another White House run.
Both refuse to back down. And this culture war? Itโs just getting started.
