Trump shares fake clip of him hitting Bruce Springsteen with golf ball
The strange back and forth between Donald Trump and Bruce Springsteen continues, as the US president has shared a fake clip on social media of him attacking The Boss with a golf ball. Yesterday (21 May), Trump took to the Truth Social platform to share a clip of himself playing golf, aiming for Bruce Springsteen. The ball eventually hits Springsteen, who falls to the ground onstage. He has since shared the clip on X, which has gone to be reposted more than 57,000 times with over 400,000 likes... and counting. The post has drawn heavy criticism and mockery online, with many posting 'reality shots' of Trump on the golf course, and others commenting on how 'this is not what a president does.' The now-viral video clip is the latest shot that the President has targetted at The Boss, ever since Springsteen's criticism of Trump on stage during the opening night of his European tour. His comments sparked the following rebuttal from Trump: 'This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that's just 'standard fare.' Then we'll all see how it goes for him!' This post drew the attention of The American Federation of Musicians (AFM), which issued a statement defending both Springsteen and Taylor Swift, after Trump attacked them both on social media. Since then, Trump has called for an investigation into Springsteen. Numerous musicians have come to Springsteen's defence, including Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and veteran rocker Neil Young. On Trump's side, long-time supporter Kid Rock appeared twice on the Fox News Channel, saying: 'Bruce Springsteen is another one of the liberals who has mountains of money who so desperately wants to keep his good standing in the eyes of Hollywood and the elite.' While Bruce Springsteen has yet to respond to the golf post, he has released a live EP, 'Land Of Hope And Dreams' from the aforementioned opening night of his EU tour. The new EP contains four live tracks – 'Land Of Hope And Dreams', 'Long Walk Home', 'My City Of Ruins' and a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Chimes Of Freedom' - as well as The Boss' scathing speeches criticising the Trump administration before the tracks 'Land Of Hope And Dreams' and 'My City Of Ruins'. '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,' you can hear Springsteen say. 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!'

Donald Trump Posts Mock Video Of Himself Hitting Golf Ball At Bruce Springsteen As Singer Refuses To Back Away From Scathing POTUS Comments
Bruce Springsteen released an EP today from his 'Land Of Hope And Dreams' European tour, including the scathing comments he made about President Donald Trump. Hours later, Trump posted a mock video in which he tees off and his golf ball hits Springsteen in the head.

At his Manchester, England concert last week, Springsteen did not refer to Trump by name but said he was leading 'a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.' 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring,' Springsteen said. He also called Trump an 'unfit president' who was running a 'rogue government.' 'The last check on power after the checks and balances have failed, are the people, you and me,' Springsteen told concert-goers. 'It's in the union of people around a common set of values — now that's all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.' Trump responded by calling Springsteen a 'dried up prune of a rocker.' But Springsteen repeated his criticism at a subsequent concert. Neil Young came to Springsteen's defense on Tuesday, writing on his website to the president, 'STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made. Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce. You know how I feel. You are more worried about yourself than AMERICA.' Trump had also posted on Truth Social about Taylor Swift, claiming that she was no longer 'hot' after he had said that he hated her following her endorsement of Harris.
