President Donald Trump took aim at the Supreme Court, fellow Republicans and several celebrities on Friday in a series of social media screeds that underscore the domestic political challenges he faces and the personal grievances he won’t let go.
“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States,” Trump wrote about the iconic American rock star.
“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,” he added, after Springsteen called Trump’s administration “treasonous.”
Trump accused the U.S. Supreme Court of getting “played,” and he admonished Republican “grandstanders” threatening to derail his legislative agenda in Congress.
He even took a swipe at pop icon Taylor Swift, claiming “she’s no longer ‘HOT,’” and taking credit for her purported decline.
Trump sent all four Truth Social posts within an hour during his flight back to the U.S. from Abu Dhabi, where he had just wrapped a four-day tour through the Middle East.
The posts show the president shifting his focus back to domestic issues, where he faces fresh political headwinds. They include a major setback for his massive tax-cut bill Friday and a contentious bout of Supreme Court oral arguments Thursday related to his controversial birthright citizenship order.
