President Donald Trump implored MAGA loyalists to boycott Bruce Springsteen, branding the veteran musician “a dried up prune” whose tickets are too pricey.
On Thursday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to pen a 117-word diatribe against the New Jersey-born rocker — whom he has exchanged barbs with for years.
“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,” the Republican president wrote.
“The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election,” he added. “MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.”
The long-running feud between the president and “The Boss” dates back to at least 2016.
In September of that year — mere months before the election — Springsteen blasted Trump as a “moron” in Rolling Stone, warning that the republic was “under siege” and calling it “a tragedy for our democracy.”
Since then, the “Born to Run” singer has remained outspoken about his opposition to the president, labeling his administration “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous" last year. Earlier this week, he launched a tour in Minneapolis in honor of the city’s protests against Trump’s immigration crackdown.
He endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, and co-hosted a podcast with former President Barack Obama called “Renegades: Born in the USA.”
Trump, for his part, has frequently targeted Springsteen for ridicule.
Last May, he 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.”
Days later, he posted an AI-generated video of him hitting the Grammy award winner with a golf ball.
