Donald Trump has publicly criticized singer Bruce Springsteen, describing him as a "dried up prune" on his social media platform, Truth Social. The former president made these remarks on April 2, the day after Springsteen, 76, addressed the audience during the opening night of his E Street Band's Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis.
During his on-stage statement, Springsteen had declared, "While working Americans struggle, our president and his family enrich themselves by billions of dollars trading on the people’s office in corruption unmatched in American history. This is happening now." He further added that "This White House is destroying the American idea and our reputation around the world."
Appearing provoked by the singer's comments, Trump retaliated on his social media account. He wrote, "Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS."
Trump continued his critique, stating, "The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America. Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the 'hottest' Country, by far, anywhere in the World. MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!! President DJT."
Springsteen has been an outspoken critic of Trump in recent years, having previously characterized his administration as "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous."
In response to Springsteen's earlier statements, Trump posted on Truth Social, "Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy – just a pushy, obnoxious JERK."
Last month, Trump also shared an AI-generated video depicting him hitting the Grammy award winner with a golf ball.
Earlier this week, Springsteen commenced his tour in Minneapolis, an event that he stated was in honour of the city's protests against Trump's immigration policies.
Speaking to attendees of 'No Kings' protests a few days prior, he remarked, "The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis, of Minnesota, was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America, and this reactionary nightmare, and these invasions of American cities will not stand."
