Note to self — don’t tee off President Donald Trump.
That may be what rock legend Bruce Springsteen is saying about now after the president posted a video on X of him hitting Springsteen with a golf ball. The video was posted Wednesday morning and comes as part of an ongoing battle between the two after Springsteen made disparaging remarks about the Trump administration, per Mediaite.
“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,” the “Born in the U.S.A.” singer said at a concert in Manchester, England.
He also accused the Trump administration of “abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death … taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers,” and reversing civil rights in the United States.
Trump then went on the attack against Springsteen.
“Never liked him, never liked his music or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — just a pushy, obnoxious JERK,” the president wrote on X.
“This dried out prune of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back in the Country,” he said.
Then, Trump called for a “major investigation” into Springsteen and others for endorsing then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
The feud went to the next level with Trump’s edited video that begins with Trump golfing then cuts to Springsteen getting hit by the “ball” that was superimposed on the screen.
The video shows Springsteen being hit by the “ball” and tripping on stage.
With the ball soundly in his court Wednesday, Springsteen released a digital EP that includes four songs recorded live in Manchester, England, last week, per the Associated Press.
The EP also included a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom.”
