Donald Trump once declared himself Bruce Springsteen's biggest fan

  • On Sunday, April 12, President Donald Trump posted a doctored close-up image of Bruce Springsteen on Truth Social with the caption "Bruce Springsteen prior to plastic surgery???" depicting the singer with liver spots and rotting teeth.
  • Springsteen has frequently criticized Trump in his music and recently branded the administration "treasonous" during his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour," escalating their decades-long political rivalry between the two 70-something East Coasters.
  • Trump claimed Springsteen "looks like a dried up prune" with "Trump Derangement Syndrome," calling him a "total loser" and urging MAGA supporters to boycott his "overpriced concerts" that "suck."
  • Hours after unsuccessful Pakistan talks regarding the Iran war, Trump called into Fox News to warn that oil prices could potentially rise higher amid the diplomatic tensions.
  • Springsteen's "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour" continues despite the feud, with performances scheduled Monday, April 13, at Chase Center in San Francisco and later at Prudential Center in Newark.
