Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on Bruce Springsteen after the musician called the US president 'unfit' and 'treasonous' during a concert in Manchester. Springsteen, kicking off his latest tour, told the crowd that Trump heads a 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration' and is an 'unfit president'.
Trump responded on his Truth Social platform, calling Springsteen 'highly overrated' and 'not a talented guy – just a pushy, obnoxious JERK'. He further insulted the singer as a 'dried out prune of a rocker', claiming his skin is 'all atrophied', and told him to 'KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT'.
Earlier, Trump also targeted Taylor Swift, writing: 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?”' This follows Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, which prompted Trump's earlier outburst of 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!'
Springsteen's tour continues at Co-Op Live in Manchester, with a Guardian review praising his performance as 'plucking hope from the darkest depths of the US with elegance and beauty'. Swift, meanwhile, remains relatively low-profile after her record-breaking Eras tour, with fans awaiting the rerelease of her album 'Reputation'.
