President Donald Trump probably won’t be listening to “Thunder Road” anytime soon.
Trump took aim at Bruce Springsteen on Thursday, asking his supporters to boycott his “expensive” new tour.
“The terrible, and very boring musician, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a farmer who has suffered greatly due to the work of a very bad plastic surgeon, has long suffered from the terrible and incurable problem of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes called TDS,” the president wrote in Truth Social.
He continued, “This guy is a total loser and is spewing hate on a President who won the Global Flood Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the states in America.”

Trump went on to say that under former President Joe Biden and the Democrats, “Our country was dead, and now we have the ‘hottest’ country, far, far away, anywhere on Earth. MAGA SHOULD TAKE HER CONCERTS WITH A LITTLE, LITTLE STAGE. SAVE YOUR HARD-PAID MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!”
Springsteen launched his “Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour” last Monday in Minneapolis, promising that it will be “political and highly debated.”
The 76-year-old told the Minnesota Star Tribune that he is ready to push back against politics on his tour.

“My job is very simple: I do what I want to do, I say what I want to say and people say what they want to say about it,” said the “Streets of Minneapolis” singer. “Those are the rules of my game. Good by me.”
Springsteen said he’s not worried about losing fans either.

“I’ve always had a feeling about the place we play traditionally, and I’m still deeply committed to that vision of the team,” he said. “Blowback is part of it. I’m ready for all of that.”
Springsteen wrote “Streets of Minneapolis” in January after the two shootings of Americans Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

“This trip will be related to politics and will be topics that affect what is happening in the country,” he said. “Minneapolis and St. Paul, it was where I wanted to start, and I wanted to finish in Washington.”
Springsteen has faced backlash from fans over high tour prices.

“Unfortunately no one can actually go…..,” commented one fan in his post earlier this month announcing the trip.
“Too bad for anyone who is your biggest fan and wants so badly to see you in concert @springsteen but can’t afford these ticket prices!” someone else added under his post. “Especially now when the economic situation is not good. I thought that if you are there, you will understand what I am saying because you are talking about making this world easier to live in.”

As promised, Springsteen got political at his Tuesday night concert.
“The America I love, the America … that has been a beacon of hope and freedom around the world is now in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” Springsteen said as the crowd cheered, according to Deadline.
