BREAKING: Donald Trump has an apocalyptic meltdown and attacks music legend Bruce Springsteen as a "dried out 'prune' of a rocker" after he starts his tour with a brutal takedown of the MAGA leader as "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous."
Nothing gets under Donald's skin faster than a beloved celebrity attacking him...
"I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States," Trump wrote 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, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country," he went on.
"If I wasn’t elected, it would have been GONE by now! Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is 'dumb as a rock,' and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)?" Trump continued.
"This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just 'standard fare.' Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!" he concluded.
Trump's pathetic claim that Springsteen is "not talented" is laughable given his singular critical and commercial success. To date, he's sold over 140 million records worldwide, which makes him the 27th best-selling musical artist of all time.
Trump's outburst was prompted by Springsteen starting his new "Land of Hopes & Dreams" tour across Europe with some choice words in Manchester, England.
"In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration," the singer told the crowd.
"Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!" he continued.
Later in the show, Springsteen expanded on his thoughts—
"The last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me," he said. "It’s in the union of people around a common set of values now that’s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. At the end of the day, all we’ve got is each other."
"There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous sh*t going on out there right now. In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now," said Springsteen.
"In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death," he continued.
"In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society," Springsteen went on.
"They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom," he said. "They are defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands. They are removing residents off American streets and without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now."
"A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government," he continued. "They have no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American."
"The America l’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real, and, regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people," he said. "So we’ll survive this moment. Now, I have hope, because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said. He said, 'In this world there isn’t as much humanity as one would like, but there’s enough.’ Let’s pray."
Of course, it should come as no surprise that Springsteen despises Donald Trump. His music is about the exploited working men and women of America and Trump makes those people's lives worse every day.

There are 85 million Americans who are uninsured or underinsured. Republicans want to make a bad situation worse by slashing Medicaid in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires.
Wrong.
We should do what other major countries do and guarantee health care for all.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly worried thousands of protesters will come to his birthday parade dressed as chickens and handing out free tacos to everyone.
🚨NEW: Bruce Springsteen calls out Trump: “The America I love - the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years - is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration"
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
This is a HUGE scandal.
Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud.
Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%.
Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.
BREAKING: Top Chinese officials say Trump has been calling them a dozen times every day to beg for a trade deal, and they put him on hold while playing audio of Obama speeches until he hangs up.
Trump is allegedly planning to absorb the US Postal Service into his administration, allowing him to privatize it. That would also give him full control over vote-by-mail & mail-in ballots.

Grocery prices are soaring.
Housing costs are skyrocketing.
Retirement savings are plummeting.
But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.
The arguments over tax policy right now boil down to this:
Republicans want lower taxes for millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations—and higher costs for working people.
Democrats say the rich should pay a fair share so we can invest in opportunity for all.
We are supposed to be a democracy.
Elected officials are supposed to listen to the vast majority of the American people when they say:
NO tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy
NO cuts to Medicaid
NO more billionaires buying elections
Donald Trump says no one has been tougher on Russia than he has. Does he think the entire country is stupid?
We can see what he's doing – denying Ukraine military, intelligence and diplomatic support – with our own eyes.
No one is blind to his betrayal of our ally.
