Singer Bruce Springsteen has long been a critic of President Trump and Republicans. The singer, who boasts a working-class persona but is one of the wealthiest singers in the world, joined the billionaires club after selling his music catalog to Sony for $500 million back in 2021.
During the opening of his tour, Springsteen attacked President Trump during speeches at his Minneapolis show.
Bruce Springsteen opened his tour last night with fiery, anti-Donald Trump speech:

Now, President Trump has decided today's the day he's going to take aim at Springsteen, saying the singer looks like a "dried up prune" on Truth Social and calling for a boycott of his upcoming concert tour.

"Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS," the President wrote. "The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86 percent of the Counties across America. Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the 'hottest' Country, by far, anywhere in the World. MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!"

The typical range of tickets for Springsteen's upcoming tour is between $200-500, with premium seats going as high as $3,000. "Upper-level" seats can run for $50-$130, which probably means you'll hear the concert on a 30-second delay thanks to the distance.
🚨 BOOM! President Trump just absolutely TORCHED Bruce Springsteen

It's another artist who is using his fame as a political platform, and it's exhausting.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
