Trump calls Bruce Springsteen a "dried up prune," urges MAGA boycott...

Trump escalated his feud with Bruce Springsteen, urging supporters to boycott the rocker’s upcoming concerts after the musician used his tour opener to denounce the administration.

“Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote. “The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America.”

“MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!” Trump wrote.

Now Trump has simply gone too far. He's attacking one of my favorite all time musicians. The man whose signature philosophy was summed up by the words he often dropped at his concerts..."Nobody wins unless everybody wins." Meaning personal progress is meaningless if others are left behind - Something Trump clearly never picked up on.

Far be it for me to disparage anyone's looks, but DJT should look as good as a dried up prune; it would be a major improvement. At least I can look at a dried up prune without disgust or loathing; can't say the same about DJT.

And when is ever going to stop with that delusion that he "...won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America” bullshit. It is so tiresome. Things are not true just because he pulls them out of his ass.

I hope security is prepared for any kind of 💩 since TSF loves to call out his thugs with his hateful rhetoric. MAGA’s hard earned money has long been sucked by the likes of baseball caps, tennis shoes, trading cards, coins, bibles and beg letters for the cause..among other things. It’s a good time and they won’t enjoy it, anyway. I’ve only been to 3-4 concerts and wish I could have been to more.

And he's the most popular American ever.

The idea he's telling a completely insignificant segment of Bruce's audience not to go see him would never computer with Trump.

And THE BOSS was beyond belief electric! He had an absolute connection to every single person in the audience. He looked fantastic and sounded even better, and for a 76-year-old man who perform a three hour concert without breaks with every song getting stronger, is something the 🍊 💩 can only dream of. One more thing I noticed in Minneapolis was that I didn't see one single ICE asshole & everything went off without a hitch, transportation, parking, dinner, hotel, etc.
