Bruce Springsteen has been verbally attacked by Donald Trump, who has said that he “looks like a dried up prune”.

The singer, 76, made a moving statement on stage during the first night of his E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis. Today, April 2, the US president, 79, posted a harsh message to Truth Social.

During his speech, Springsteen declared: “While working Americans struggle, our president and his family enrich themselves by billions of dollars trading on the people’s office in corruption unmatched in American history. This is happening now.” 

“This White House is destroying the American idea and our reputation around the world,” he added. 

Clearly angered by the singer’s words, Trump has now attempted to clap back, writing on his social media platform: “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. 

“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. 

“Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the ‘hottest’ Country, by far, anywhere in the World. MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!! President DJT.”
