Why Are Trump and Springsteen Feuding?

  • In May 2025, President Donald Trump and musician Bruce Springsteen engaged in a public feud following Springsteen's critical comments about the administration at a UK concert.
  • The dispute arose after Springsteen backed Kamala Harris during the 2024 election, prompting Trump to allege illegal payments to celebrities for endorsements and call for an investigation.
  • Springsteen denounced the current government as corrupt and treasonous and criticized policy decisions, while Trump responded on Truth Social with insults and demands that Springsteen refrain from commenting until returning to the U.S.
  • Trump accused Springsteen and others of receiving undisclosed payments, citing figures like $165,000 linked to some artists, though campaign spokespersons denied such payments and fact-checkers found no evidence supporting illegal endorsements.
  • This conflict underscores ongoing scrutiny of celebrity political endorsements and suggests possible legal inquiries into campaign finance violations linked to the 2024 election.
