The president of the United States used the full power of his office Friday to have an embarrassing public meltdown online.
Donald Trump, you see, appears to be freaking out after he
got scolded by the Boss on the first night of his European tour.
“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States,”
Trump wrote, glossing over the fact that he, too,
is currently in a foreign country speaking badly about someone.
“He’s not a talented guy,” Trump sniped of the decorated Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who’s won
20 Grammy Awards,
two Golden Globes,
an Academy Award,
a Special Tony Award, and
the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Trump also called Springsteen “a pushy, obnoxious JERK” without a hint of self-awareness.
Springsteen opened the first show of his tour with an unambiguous rallying cry for democracy, warning that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”
“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us,” he said. “Raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”

Failing to land any solid punches in his rant, Trump then pivoted, as he often does, to one of his favorite subjects: former President
Joe Biden.
Springsteen
publicly supported Kamala Harris’ bid for the presidency in 2024 after Biden withdrew from the race and backed his vice president. The Boss also
narrated an ad for Biden’s successful bid in 2020.
Trump latched onto that support Friday as cause to devote two-thirds of his screed to his predecessor, whom he called “a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country.”
I don't care what your politics are, I've listened to rock music for five decades, and very few can write lyrics of this depth and sensitivity:
