Donald Trump has decided to shake the chicken coop of social networks by attacking two of the largest musical stars in the United States, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, both known for their support for the Democratic Party. In a series of messages published in Truth Social on May 16, Trump has questioned the current popularity of Taylor and Boss’s talent, making clear his disdain for both artists.
On Taylor Swift, Trump has launched a question as provocative as strange: “Has anyone realized that Taylor Swift is no longer relevant since I said I hated her?” Trump refers to the message he published last September, in which he claimed to “hate” Taylor Swift after the singer made her support for the candidacy of Kamala Harris.
Bruce Springsteen has not fought from Trump’s attacks. Recently, the author of ‘Nebraska’ had described the current government as “corrupt, incompetent and traitor.” In response, Trump has not spared in disqualifications, qualifying Springsteen as “fool”, “more silly than a stone” and “an uncle without talent.” He has also criticized him for his support for Joe Biden and his “radical left policies.”
The United States Federation of Musicians, which has Swift and Springsteen among its partners, has defended its artists in a statement collected by Billboard. «Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not just brilliant musicians; They are models to follow and inspiration for millions of people in the United States and worldwide. «Either with ‘Born in the USA’ or with the eras tour, his music is timeless, shocking and has a deep cultural significance. Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we sympathize with all our members.
