President Donald Trump is firing back at Bruce Springsteen after the singer seemingly called him out at one of his concerts.
On Tuesday, March 31, while performing during his Land of Hope and Dreams American tour, Springsteen, 76, addressed his fans in Minneapolis and said America is "currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration.”
In response, Trump, 79, went on his Truth Social platform and shared some choice words to Springsteen, whom he called a "total loser."
"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 and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS," Trump 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% of the Counties across America," the president continued. "Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the 'hottest' Country, by far, anywhere in the World."
Trump then addressed his followers and said MAGA "should boycott" Springsteen's "overpriced concerts, which suck."
"SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY," he said. "AMERICA IS BACK!!!"
Springsteen has frequently used his platform to talk about politics. At his Minneapolis concert, he said his fans should choose "hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division, and peace over war.”
Springsteen also talked about his new single, "Streets of Minneapolis," and said it relates to issues going on in the world today. The rocker mentioned Renee Good and Alex Pretti , who were both shot by federal agents amid increased ICE activity in Minneapolis earlier this year.
"Minnesota, you gave us hope. You gave us courage. And for those who gave their lives, Renee Good, mother of three, brutally murdered, and Alex Pretti, VA nurse, executed by ICE and left to die in the street without even the decency of our lawless government investigating their deaths. Their bravery, their sacrifice, and their names will not be forgotten," he said.

Last time I looked Springsteen's face wasn't orange but somebody else's is.
At this point in his career Bruce probably would not even care if some folks boycotted him.
Bruce is welcome to his opinion and Donald is welcome to his.
IMO when I go to a concert I don't want to hear political speeches, I want to hear music.
I also want a politician spending more time doing his job and less time worrying about people that don't like him.
But to paraphrase Mick:
I can't always get what I want
But if I try, sometimes
Well, I might find
I get what I need
