President Trump on Friday slammed two of New Jersey’s most famous faces — music icons Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen — as the Garden State dealt with a train strike that left 350,000 commuters scrambling for alternate transportation.
President Trump on Friday slammed two of New Jersey’s most famous faces — music icons Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen — as the Garden State dealt with a train strike that left 350,000 commuters scrambling for alternate transportation.
“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,” he posted to Truth Social.
“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!”
The Boss — who was born in Long Branch and raised in Freehold — lambasted Trump’s administration as “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous” while kicking off the European leg of his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour in Manchester, England this week.
“The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times 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.”
“… 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!” added the longtime, diehard Democrat.
Swift, who cut her teeth performing at a coffee shop near her family’s vacation home in Stone Harbor, earned Trump’s ire last summer when she publicly endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election after backing Joe Biden against Trump in 2020.
The 35-year-old popstar in her endorsement announcement called Harris “a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
Swift, who wrapped up her record-smashing Eras Tour late last year, has been largely staying out of the spotlight in 2025, aside from appearances supporting boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Trump and Swift were both in attendance at the Feb. 9 Super Bowl in New Orleans, with the president trolling the pop star after Kelce’s Chiefs were defeated 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium,” wrote Trump on Truth Social, referencing the loud jeers that greeted Swift when she was shown on the big screen during the game.
“MAGA is very unforgiving!”
