Trump Escalates Social Media Feud With Bruce Springsteen Over Political Speeches

The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and musician Bruce Springsteen has intensified, with Springsteen releasing a new EP featuring speeches from his Manchester concert that sharply criticize Trump's administration as 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous.' Springsteen's remarks also condemn the rollback of civil rights and the persecution of dissenters, which prompted Trump to respond with a doctored golf video showing him hitting Springsteen with a golf ball, along with harsh personal insults on social media. Trump further called for an investigation into alleged illegal campaign contributions involving Springsteen and other artists supporting Democrats. Despite Trump's attacks, Springsteen remains defiant, receiving support from fellow musicians like Neil Young, who urged Trump to focus on national issues rather than entertainers' critiques. The dispute highlights the broader cultural and political clashes between Trump and prominent artists who publicly oppose him. Both sides continue to use social media and public performances to escalate the conflict.
