WASHINGTON D.C April 2, 2026 — President Donald J. Trump has unleashed a blistering personal attack on rock legend Bruce Springsteen, calling him a “bad and very boring singer” who “looks like a dried up prune” and accusing the musician of suffering from a severe case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS).
In a post shared widely by the official White House Rapid Response account (@RapidResponse47) on Thursday, April 2, 2026, the President wrote:
“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. 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. Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the ‘hottest’ Country, by far, anywhere in the World. MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!! President DJT”
The White House Rapid Response post featured a screenshot of the President’s remarks, which quickly went viral and drew thousands of reactions from supporters and critics alike.
The outburst comes just one day after Springsteen opened his 2026 “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour on March 31 in Minneapolis. During the concert, the singer delivered strong anti-Trump rhetoric, criticizing the administration as reckless and stating that the President “can’t handle the truth.” Springsteen has been vocal in his opposition to Trump for years and has used recent tour announcements to label the President a “wannabe king.”
The exchange marks the latest chapter in a long-running feud between the two cultural icons. Trump’s call for a boycott echoes similar past appeals against entertainers he perceives as hostile to his “America First” agenda.
As of Thursday evening, Springsteen has not publicly responded to the President’s latest remarks. The 2026 tour continues with upcoming dates across the United States.
