Bono, Musicians Rally Behind Springsteen Against Trump

During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Bono publicly supported Bruce Springsteen in his ongoing feud with former President Donald Trump, stating 'There’s only one Boss in America.' The conflict intensified after Springsteen criticized the Trump administration during his European tour, leading Trump to falsely accuse Bono, Springsteen, Beyoncé, and Oprah of being paid to endorse Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. Bono clarified that neither he nor U2 have ever performed for or endorsed any political candidate, dismissing Trump’s claims as baseless and calling Truth Social 'pretty antisocial and not very true.' He suggested Trump confused his nonpartisan humanitarian work with political activity. The episode has prompted widespread support for Springsteen from the artistic community, with many musicians condemning Trump’s policies and rhetoric. Bono’s comments reflect a broader pushback from artists against Trump’s accusations.
