Both Kid Rock and President Trump are blasting Bruce Springsteen after “The Boss” slammed the President while on tour in Europe.
Speaking to “Fox and Friends” ahead of his performance at the Professional Bull Riders World Finals this weekend, Kid Rock says Springsteen has “Trump derangement syndrome” and called his criticism of the President a “punk move.”
“Just another person with ‘TDS’ at the highest levels,” Rock told Fox’s Steve Doocy. ”To be in Europe, talking junk about our President who gets up and works his a$$ off for this country everyday and this administration is doing such great things. And thank God for him. To do that in Europe. What a punk move.”
Rock’s comments come after Springsteen said this at his May 14th concert in Manchester, England, which has been seen all over YouTube.
“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,”
He went on to say: “Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American spirit to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.”
President Trump also responded to Springsteen’s comments on Truth Social, writing on May 16:
“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. 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, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country.
President Trump added: “Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? 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!”
Rock added that he thinks Springsteen just wants to be in good standings in Hollywood.
“This guy has, what $500 million, and he’s out there playing like he’s a working class hero? And really to me, just wants to be in good standings with the Hollywood elite. I’m proud to say that I’m more of Hollywood’s Kryptonite.”
Springsteen’s tour continues tonight in Manchester. He heads to France next weekend and will also perform in France, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain and Italy.
Kid Rock is bringing his “Rock the Country” tour to 10 small towns. His next show is May 31 in York, PA with Nickelback, Hank Williams Jr. and more. The tour will be in Hastings, Michigan on June 14.
