President Trump continued trolling recording artist Bruce Springsteen this week as part of an ongoing feud.
The post shared Wednesday morning from his verified X account showed a video clip of Trump swinging his golf club spliced with footage of Springsteen stumbling up a flight of stairs during a concert in 2023.

This move comes after several days of back and forth. While the two have never been fans of each other, Springsteen started the most recent fight when he opened his “Land of Hopes and Dreams” tour in the U.K. by delivering a lengthy diatribe against the president.
“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!” Springsteen said, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
The longtime Democrat supporter made multiple political statements during his two-and-a-half-hour-long set, including complaining about the deportation of illegal aliens and “rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society.”
President Trump hit back against the aging musician, calling him a “dried out prune of a rocker” and saying that Springsteen “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare’. Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”
On Monday, Trump called for a “major investigation” into Springsteen and other musicians for “illegal campaign contribution[s]” allegedly made during Kamala Harris’ bid for office.
“Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment,” he wrote in part. “In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.”
Many fans were critical of Springsteen using the stage as a platform to spew political opinions, pointing out how the singer chose to make the rants on foreign soil.
Besides being an outspoken Democrat supporter, Springsteen is a friend of former President Barack Obama and campaigned for both of his presidential campaigns. The singer headlined rallies for both Joe Biden and Harris during the last election cycle.
