Donald Trump launched a bitter and furious rant against Bruce Springsteen, accusing him of looking like a “wrinkled old prune”.
Springsteen, the closest thing America has to a national treasure, has been interspersing political speeches in his current US tour.
Opening the tour in Minneapolis on Tuesday night, he opened with a “prayer for our m en and women in service overseas” – before launching into Edwin Starr’s 1970 anti-Vietnam anthem “War”.
“We are living through some very dark times,” the Boss said later in the three-hour concert – before branding the Trump administration “corrupt” and saying the President “can’t handle the truth.”
Trump, who at 79 is three years older than Springsteen and looks it, lashed out against the “Born To Run” megastar this morning on Truth Social, urging MAGA supporters to boycott his sold-out tour.
“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,” he wrote.
“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!!!”
Springsteen has been a frequent critic of Trump, particularly in the last few months. He frequently invokes Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were killed at the hands of ICE agents in Minnesota – where Tuesday’s concert took place.
At the concert, Springsteen continued: “Our American values that have sustained us for 250 years are being challenged as never before. We’ve got our young men and women’s lives at risk In an unconstitutional and illegal war. This is happening now.
“There are immigrants being held in detention centers around the country and being deported without due process of law to alien countries and foreign gulags. This is happening now.
“Our Justice Department has completely abdicated its independence, and our attorney general, Pam Bondi, takes her marching orders straight from a corrupt White House. She prosecutes our president’s perceived enemies, covers up for his misdeeds and protects his powerful friends. This is happening now.
“The richest men in America have abandoned the world’s poorest children through death and disease, through their dismantling of USAID. This is happening now.
“We are abandoning NATO and the world order that’s kept us safe and at global peace for 80 years. This is happening now.
“We threaten our neighbors and our allies whose sons and daughters have fought alongside us in American wars with the predatory annexation of their land. This is happening now.
“Our museums are being told to whitewash American history of any unpleasant or inconvenient facts, like the full history of the brutality of slavery. You want to talk about snowflakes? We have a president who can’t handle the truth. This is happening now.
“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.
“This White House is destroying the American idea and our reputation around the world. To many, we are no longer looked upon as an often imperfect but strong defender of democracy standing for the global good. We are no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are now, to many, America the reckless, unpredictable, predatory rogue nation. That is this administration’s and this president’s legacy. This is happening now.
“Honesty, honor, humility, compassion, thoughtfulness, morality, true strength, and decency — don’t let anybody tell you that these things don’t matter anymore. They do. They are at the heart of the kind of men and women we are, the kind of citizens we are, the kind of country we’ll be leaving to our children. So many of our elected leaders have failed us that this American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people. So join us and let’s fight for the America that we love.”
