Donald Trump, who had “born in the United States” on his 2016 campaign rally band, insisted that he never “liked” Bruce Springsteen or his music after the musician called the president “incompetent and betrayal” during his kick-off of the European tour in 2025.
Such biting words of such a famous and revered rockstar are not surprisingly under the president’s skin, even if it is in the middle of a trip through the Middle East and planned to accept $ 400 million in Luxury Qatar jets. He withdrew a social article from Truth on Friday morning, calling Springsteen “very surface” and “not a talented guy – just an arrogant and unpleasant jolt”.
Trump proceeded to attack Springsteen for his support for former president Joe Biden, calling the musician “stupid like a rock”, and a “diagram” of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!). “The president also seemed particularly fixed on the fact that Springsteen made his comments abroad, and closed his message with the simultaneously bizarre, but also poorly worrying (in light of everything, everything) says that Springsteen” should keep his mouth closed until he returns to the country, it’s just “standard prices”. Then we will all see how it goes for him! ”
Springsteen has, of course, criticized Trump many times on American soil. In a 2016 interview with RollerSpringsteen called Trump as a “moron”, and during a campaign rally in 2024 for Kamala Harris, he called Trump as “American tyrant”. During his recent opening match of the tour in England, Springsteen said that the United States was “in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and betrayal administration”.
Later in the show, before playing “My City of Ruins”, added Springsteen, “a majority of our elected representatives did not protected the American people against the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. Believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said, he said: “In this world, there is not as much humanity as you wish, but there is enough.” “”
