After firing back at Bruce Springsteen for criticizing him during a concert tour, President Trump is now calling for “major investigations” into Springsteen and other celebrities for their support of his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 election.
In addition to Springsteen, Trump also named two other singer/songwriters — Bono and Beyoncé — as well as longtime TV host, actress, and producer and l Oprah Winfrey.
Giving the all-caps key his usual workout, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Monday, May 19: “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? … AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???
Concert “I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter," Trump went on to say. "Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.
“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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”
In the first concert of the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour by Springsteen and The E Street band last week in Manchester, England, he said: "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."
Two days later, Trump hit back on social media, calling Springsteen, "not a talented guy — just a pushy, obnoxious JERK."
Trump went on to call Springsteen a "dried out prune of a rocker" who ought to "keep his mouth shut" until he gets back into the country, adding, "Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!"

Isn’t that a bit childish?
I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT:::
GO TRUMP, GO TRUMP.
HIS OPPONENTS ARE SUCH DORKS.
Technically he’s right, practically it’s a foolish idea.
Trump 1.0.
No. If candidates aren’t allowed to pay for endorsements, then a legitimate question, particularly if the $$$ provided to those performers was in the millions (Beyonce alleged payoff $11 million).
NO.
FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE A LITTLE SQUEMISH...THIS IS THE CIVILIZED WAY TO OPPOSE.
OR...just let the leftists walk all over us.
HOORAY President Trump!
Which song was that one?
“dried out prune of a rocker”
he has a way with words
No.
Childish is self focused. These people were very self focused, only performed when paid money. So yes BS, OW, etc are childish.
Born To Run.
Very.
Embarrassing too.
He has to leave it to others to make those statements.
Keep in mind he was prosecuted for “hidden campaign expenses” in the form of payments to his lawyer.
He’s addressing this as a guy who had a mug shot and was in court on trial, and was convicted!
So how can they spend big money, or accept expensive campaign gifts, without reporting it?
If they get paid, how is it an illegal campaign contribution?
Of course you’re right. The marxists should just continue breaking the law and the rest of us should just do nothing.
That works every time it is tried.
Springsteen, DeNiro et al are childish.
It is...but enforcement of campaign finance laws is not
