Donald Trump has called on his supporters to boycott concerts by Bruce Springsteen, describing the artist as “mediocre and boring” and even comparing him to a “dried-up prune.”
“Bruce Springsteen, that mediocre and boring singer, who looks like a dried-up prune and has clearly suffered at the hands of an incompetent plastic surgeon, has long suffered from a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Trump wrote on his platform, Truth Social.
“TRUMP SUPPORTERS SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS EXTREMELY OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH ARE TERRIBLE,” he added.
The remarks come after Springsteen, 76, launched his new tour in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a focal point of opposition to Trump’s immigration policies and a center of recent protests known as “No Kings.”

During a performance, Springsteen strongly criticized Trump, calling him “corrupt, incompetent, racist, irresponsible and a traitor.”
He also performed his song “Streets of Minneapolis”, dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were shot and killed by federal agents during immigration enforcement operations.
Springsteen’s “Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour” is scheduled to visit around 20 cities across the United States, concluding on May 27.
