Trump insults ‘highly overrated’ legendary rocker who called him ‘treasonous’
President Donald Trump wasn’t going to let The Boss get the last word.
Two days after Bruce Springsteen kicked off his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour in England by criticizing Trump, the president shot back by insulting the legendary rocker’s musical ability and personal appearance.
“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. 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, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country,” Trump posted Friday to his Truth Social media platform.
Springsteen and his E Street Band launched their “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour Thursday night in Manchester.
“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” Springsteen told the crowd as he opened his set, according to the tour’s website.
“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!” the rocker continued.
The legendary rocker known for his liberal leanings did not mince words while criticizing Trump and his administration.
Trump then attacked both former President Joe Biden and The Boss in the same sentence.
“Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)?” Trump continued.
The president then began going after The Boss’ looks.
“This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare.’ Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!” Trump said.
