During a recent concert in Manchester, U.K., Bruce Springsteen criticized the Trump administration, calling on fans to “fight authoritarianism.” He expressed his discontent with the government, describing it as “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.” He urged those who value democracy to stand up for freedom and the American spirit. His remarks sparked backlash from former President Donald Trump, who took to social media to disparage Springsteen.
Trump, returning to the U.S. from a Middle East trip, responded vehemently to Springsteen’s comments and labeled him as “overrated,” calling him a “pushy, obnoxious JERK” who supports “Radical Left Politics.” He conveyed that Springsteen would face consequences upon returning to the U.S. for his statements.
Apart from Springsteen, Trump also targeted Taylor Swift for her endorsement of Kamala Harris for the presidential run, suggesting that she has lost her popularity since he expressed his disdain for her. He remarked on Truth Social that Swift is “no longer ‘HOT'” since he said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” following her posts supporting Harris.
Additionally, Trump criticized the U.S. Supreme Court after it blocked his administration’s attempt to deport Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 wartime law, labeling the ruling a “bad and dangerous day for America.” Trump argued this decision would allow more criminals to enter the country, posing a threat to the American public.
These events illustrate the contentious relationship between Trump and prominent artists who oppose his administration, highlighting the deep political divides and the role of celebrity voices in the current political landscape.
