Bono Weighs in on Trump-Bruce Springsteen Drama: 'There's Only One Boss in America'
Bono is weighing in on the Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump drama, as well as responding to the president's call for a 'major investigation' into Bono's support for Kamala Harris. The U2 frontman recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where the host asked him, 'Whose side are you on, Trump or Bruce Springsteen?' More from The Hollywood Reporter Sean "Diddy" Combs' Assistant of 8 Years Accuses Him of Multiple Sexual Assaults During Testimony Sean "Diddy" Combs' Ex-Assistant Testifies He Sexually Assaulted Her and Used Violence to Get His Way John Fogerty Is Releasing "John's Versions" of Creedence Clearwater Revival Classics After letting out a laugh, Bono responded, 'I think there's only one Boss in America,' referring to Springsteen's nickname, evoking loud applause from the audience. The Trump-Springsteen drama started when the rock star slammed the Trump administration during a concert in the U.K., telling the audience that the U.S. is 'currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.' While the president vaguely threatened him in response, Springsteen has since doubled down on his claims at another concert. Jimmy Kimmel later brought up Trump's rant that he posted on his social media platform Truth Social earlier this month, calling for an investigation into major recording acts and entertainment notables — including Bono, Springsteen, Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey — who showed their support for Harris during her presidential campaign. 'I don't want to cut in on your action because I know the president at 1 a.m., or 1:30, or whatever that was, is usually thinking about you,' Bono quipped, referencing Kimmel and Trump's years-long feud. 'But two points I'll make,' the Grammy-winning musician continued. 'One, to be the company of Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, and Oprah — I'll play tambourine in that band. And two, U2 and I have never paid or played a show to support any candidate from any party. It has never happened.' He later joked that Trump's Truth Social platform 'seems to be pretty antisocial' and is 'not very true a lot of the time.' Bono also offered Kimmel his thoughts on why he thinks he was among the artists Trump has targeted. He said it 'might be the fact that I co-founded the One Campaign, which is, by design, bipartisan.' According to its website, the nonprofit advocates for economic and health opportunities in Africa. 'We've got a lot of very religious Catholics, Evangelicals, Conservatives who are very, very, very angry with the person that they voted into office having demolished instruments of mercy and compassion like USAID [United States Agency for International Development] or PEPFAR [United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief], which can save 26 million lives of people who have AIDS around the world,' the 'With Or Without You' singer added. 'That's the America that we love. That's the America that we all want to be part of. And they are not happy, and there will be trouble.'

'How Does It Feel?': Jimmy Kimmel Gives Trump A Taste Of His Own Bitter Medicine
Jimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump has changed his tariff policy so often that the process has been given a mocking new nickname: TACO. That's short for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' 'You're not gonna believe this,' Kimmel said. 'He doesn't like the nickname at all.' TACO refers to how Trump frequently announces a new tariff, causing markets to crash, then backs off, causing them to rise again. Some investors have used it to make cash in a time of economic uncertainty. Kimmel said Trump flipped out at a reporter who asked him about the name, calling it 'a nasty question.' 'But it seems to be catching on,' Kimmel said, then showed off some of his favorite TACO Trump chicken memes. 'How does it feel to be on the other end of the nickname game?' Kimmel asked. 'Not great, does it?' Kimmel said there's only one way to make this even worse for Trump: 'If somebody changed the lyrics to a song by his beloved Village People to drive it home.' Kimmel played a parody of 'Macho Man' ― a song Trump has frequently used at his rallies ― called 'Taco Man,' complete with a video to match. Check it out in his Thursday night monologue:
