This includes what he said about Bruce Springsteen being a \u2018dried out prune\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undoubtedly, there is no love lost between Donald Trump and Bruce Springsteen, and now that they have drawn the line, others are taking their side. This includes Bono, who is certainly siding on the side of Bruce Springsteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7a-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92477\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It happened when the 65-year-old frontman from U2 was on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. He said: \u201cThere\u2019s only one boss in America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It began recently when Springsteen was getting his European tour started in Manchester earlier in May. He told fans that the US was being ruled by a \u2018corrupt, incompetent and treasonous\u2019 leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump fired back angrily, saying that the \u2018dried out prune of a rocker\u2019 should just keep his mouth shut. He also warned that when Springsteen returned to the United States there could be consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bono also spoke about the May 19 unsolicited attack Trump made against Bono on social media. He lumped him in with artists who were supposedly paid to perform for Democrat Kamala Harris prior to the election in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump said: \u201cWHAT ABOUT BEYONC\u00c9? AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92478\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bono replied, saying: \u201cU2 and I [were] never paid \u2013 or played \u2013 a show to support any candidate from any party. That has never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also spoke about the truth social platform that the president uses, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s called \u2018Truth Social\u2019 \u2013 seems to be pretty antisocial and it\u2019s not very true a lot of the time\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the election occurred in 2016, Bono was wondering what type of country America would be under Trump\u2019s rule and how it would be for those worldwide who \u2018love the idea of America.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued: \u201cGood people are not going to stand silently while you run off with the American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump was elected for the first time just a month later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has found himself in many difficult situations, and sometimes he seems to speak before he thinks about his words.
