Trump posts edited video of him hitting Springsteen with a golf ball

President Trump on Wednesday morning posted an edited video showing him hitting rocker Bruce Springsteen with an animated golf ball, prolonging the back-and-forth between the two men. 

The eight-second video, which Trump posted on Truth Social, shows Trump, wearing a white shirt and black pants, hitting a golf ball. In the second half of the video, the animated ball is shown striking Springsteen in the back, making him fall. 

The two have traded insults over recent days. 

As he kicked off his Land of Hope and Dreams tour in England, Springsteen said the United States is “currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

“There’s some very weird, strange and dangerous s‑‑‑ going on out there right now. In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent,” Springsteen, who supported former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election, said last week. 

Trump quickly fired back, saying he was never a fan of the legendary rocker or his political views. 

“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,” Trump said Friday. 

The president then said Monday he will call for a “major” investigation into whether some celebrities who supported Harris, the Democratic Party nominee, were illegally paid for their endorsements under the premise of performance fees.

Springsteen performed at a Harris campaign rally last fall in Georgia. 

Trump has previously circulated similar golf-themed videos aimed at his critics.

In September 2017, the president, then in his first White House term, shared an edited video clip of him knocking down Hillary Clinton, his 2016 general election foe, with a golf ball.
