Trump calls for MAGA boycott of Springsteen concerts: ‘Total loser who spews hate’

Trump called Springsteen a “total loser” and pressed supporters to skip his shows after the singer blasted the administration onstage.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump used Truth Social to slam Bruce Springsteen as a "bad and very boring singer," urging supporters to boycott his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour."
  • During his March 31 tour opener in Minneapolis, Springsteen labeled the administration "corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous," intensifying tensions with the president.
  • Trump's post mocked Springsteen's appearance as a "dried up prune," a tactic experts say aims to bully the artist. Monica Cwynar, a licensed clinical social worker, noted such rhetoric reinforces superficial societal values.
  • Unfazed by the criticism, Springsteen explained that after 60 years in the industry, he has developed "a pretty thick skin" and refuses to alter his outspoken political stance.
  • This confrontation marks the latest clash in a long-running feud dating back to 2016, with Springsteen continuing to prioritize political topics in his music as a defense of American ideals.
