Throughout the concert, Springsteen accused Mr. Trump and his administration of authoritarianism, rolling back civil rights, blocking free speech and "taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers." On Friday, Mr. Trump responded on his social media platform, saying that the rocker is "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."
