President Donald Trump on Monday launched a new attack on rock legend Bruce Springsteen along with several other major celebrities during a middle-of-the-night rant on his Truth Social website.

“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT?” he wrote in all caps. “WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION?”

It bothers me how incredibly thin skinned he is. You could start an international incident quite easily with a tweet these days.

I remember as a kid when Geraldine Ferraro was on the ticket and my dad saying we could never have a woman president because they are too sensitive, and hormonal. Yet he is celebrating Mr sensitive over here.

The truest snowflake.

How would paying a musician who is not running for office be an illegal contribution?

His lack of understanding regarding campaign finance is eclipsed only by his lack of understanding regarding tariffs.

He really doesn’t understand much of anything.

That's why he's such a successful businessman.

Oh, wait...

Totally normal presidential behavior, nothing at all to be concerned with

You see, it's an "official act" ...

"Isn't that illegal?" screeched the the felon. Lmao he's so fucking pathetic

Payment for having an act perform.

Not payment for endorsement.

Yeah. Not a process trump is familiar with. He thinks stealing music and playing it without permission at a public event is the proper way to go about these things.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

So...now we know HE paid for his endorsements.

Every accusation is a confession

The US president being a child again.

Even if everything he alleges is true, it wouldn't be illegal. Let's spend tax dollars investigating it because it hurts his feelings when people don't agree with him.
