President Donald Trump and Kid Rock hilariously took down "dried out prune" Bruce Springsteen following the rocker's attack on Trump during his concert in England.
Springsteen, a longtime supporter of Democratic politicians, is back out on tour and used his time on stage in Manchester to slam the president as "unfit" in what he called "dangerous times," according to a video on his website.
"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, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration," Springsteen said.

President Trump posted a lengthy response to "The Boss" and wrote on Truth Social that:
I see that highly overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a foreign country to speak badly about the President of the United States. 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.
If I wasn't elected, it would've been gone by now. Sleepy Joe didn't have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is 'dumb as a rock,' and couldn't see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? 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 White House later released a statement that read, "The 77 million Americans that elected President Trump disagree with elitist and out-of-touch celebrities like Bruce Springsteen. Bruce is welcome to stay overseas while hardworking Americans enjoy a secure border and cooling inflation thanks to President Trump," NBC News noted.
Friend of the president, Kid Rock, also did not appreciate Springsteen's comments, calling it a "punk" move.
During his appearance on Friday on "Fox and Friends," the singer-born Robert James Ritchie-said that Springsteen was suffering from a strong case of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).
"Just another person with TDS at the highest levels," Ritchie said. "To be in Europe talking junk about our President who gets up and works his [ ] off for this Country, every day, and his administration is doing such great things… Thank God for him. But to do that in Europe ... what a punk move."
"This guy's got, what, 500 million, a billion dollars… and is out there playing like he's a working-class hero," he added. "And really, to me, just wants to be… in good standing with the Hollywood elite… and I'm proud to say that I'm more of Hollywood's kryptonite."

"Garbage, TDS at the HIGHEST level," Ritchie continued. "He's [Trump] over there creating peace in the Middle East. One of the places that could possibly erupt and send the world into turmoil, and he's over there getting it done. This guy does not know how to lose, period. [He] gets up every morning and busts his [ ] or this Country. Thank God for him and his administration."
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld had one word for Springsteen after his attack on the president, labeling him the p-word [ ] for doing that in another country and not in America…"
