President Donald Trump slammed Bruce Springsteen as being ‘highly overrated’ Friday after the rocker called his administration ‘corrupt, incompetent and treasonous.’
‘I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. 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,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Springsteen tore into Trump on Wednesday during the first of a series of concerts in Manchester, England.
‘The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times. 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,’ Springsteen said, drawing applause from his audience.
‘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!’ Springsteen added in a video posted on his YouTube page.
Trump said in his Truth Social post that ‘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!)? 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!’
Springsteen declared last year that ‘I’ll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’ in the presidential election. Harris ended up losing the race to Trump.
The ‘Born in the USA’ singer, in an Instagram video endorsing Harris, attacked Trump as ‘the most dangerous candidate for President in my lifetime’ with a ‘disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power.’
The Harris campaign later announced a concert series with Springsteen in battleground states to mobilize voters in the weeks leading up to Election Day last year.
