President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to disparage Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift - both vocal critics of his policies - almost two days after Springsteen condemned Trump during a concert in England.

This is not the first time Trump has criticized celebrities such as Springsteen and Swift, both of whom supported Kamala Harris during her 2024 presidential campaign. But Trump’s recent social media posts are among his first insulting A-listers since his return to office. During his first term, the president frequently brawled with high-profile entertainers including Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro.

Springsteen railed against the Trump administration in three statements made during opening night of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour in Manchester, England.

Before performing "Land of Hope and Dreams” Wednesday night, he called the administration "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous.” Ahead of singing "House of a Thousand Guitars,” he said "the union of people around a common set of values” are "all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.” As he introduced "My City of Ruins,” Springsteen called Trump an "unfit president” in a longer speech criticizing what he described as "very weird, strange and dangerous s--- going on” in the United States.

"They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom. They are defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands,” Springsteen said. "They are removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now.”
