'Highly Overrated': Trump UNLOADS on Bruce Springsteen After Musician Attacks President While Overseas
Things just got heated between a former President and a rock icon.
A prominent musician took aim at a political figure while performing abroad, prompting a strong response.
A Critic Overseas
Bruce Springsteen recently kicked off the European leg of his tour.
On the first night, while performing in a foreign country, Springsteen addressed political matters back in the United States.
He reportedly criticized the current administration, calling it "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous."
Springsteen also issued a rallying cry for democracy, urging those who "believe in democracy" to "rise with us."
A History of Political Engagement
This isn't the first time the celebrated musician has voiced his political opinions.
Springsteen has a history of supporting political figures opposed to Donald Trump.
He publicly backed Kamala Harris's presidential bid in 2024.
He also narrated an advertisement for Joe Biden's campaign in 2020.
Trump Fires Back
Donald Trump, who has often commented on critics, took notice of Springsteen's remarks made while on tour abroad.
He took to social media to address the musician's comments directly.
Trump's post offered a sharp critique of Springsteen and his decision to speak out politically while in a foreign country.
He began by questioning Springsteen's standing in the music world.
Focus on Political Opponents
In his extensive online response, Trump dedicated significant attention to his political rivals.
Given Springsteen's past support for figures like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Trump connected the musician's criticism to the broader political landscape.
He commented on former President Biden, referencing his term in office.
The Full Counter
In his direct counter to Springsteen's comments, Trump didn't hold back.
He labeled the musician "Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen."
Trump questioned Springsteen's talent, stating, "He’s not a talented guy."
He also described Springsteen personally, calling him "a pushy, obnoxious JERK."
Addressing the location of Springsteen's remarks, Trump suggested the musician should "KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare.’"
He concluded his remarks on Springsteen with a final observation, referring to him as this "dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!)"
Political Crossroads
The exchange highlights the ongoing intersection of politics and celebrity culture, where figures from the entertainment world voice their views and political leaders respond.
Trump's forceful comments online underscore his willingness to directly confront criticism, particularly when it comes from well-known figures with opposing political viewpoints who make their remarks on an international stage.
