President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to criticize Bruce Springsteen for comments the musician made during a concert in Manchester, England. Springsteen had called the Trump administration &ldquocorrupt, incompetent, and treasonous&rdquo and urged audiences to &ldquoraise your voices against authoritarianism.&rdquo The remarks marked a return to political messaging for Springsteen, who had recently focused more on introspective content during his performances.

In his post, Trump accused Springsteen of lacking talent and slammed him for criticizing the president while abroad, referring to the singer as a &ldquodried out &lsquoprune&rsquo of a rocker.&rdquo He mocked Springsteen&rsquos appearance and said he should &ldquoKEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country.&rdquo Trump also referenced his past use of Springsteen&rsquos song &ldquoBorn in the U.S.A.&rdquo at rallies, despite the artist&rsquos disapproval.

Springsteen, a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates, did not respond to the comments. The clash adds to Trump&rsquos ongoing pattern of feuds with celebrities, including past spats with Taylor Swift, Meryl Streep, and George Clooney, as he continues to draw sharp lines between his administration and outspoken figures in the entertainment industry.The clash adds to Trump&rsquos ongoing pattern of feuds with celebrities, including past spats with Taylor Swift, Meryl Streep, and George Clooney, as he continues to draw sharp lines between his administration and outspoken figures in the entertainment industry.
