Trump Attacks Supreme Court, Swift and Springsteen
President Donald Trump unleashed a series of social media posts Friday targeting the Supreme Court, Republican lawmakers, and several high-profile celebrities, highlighting ongoing tensions between the administration and other governmental and cultural institutions. The president’s criticisms of the judiciary came just one day after the Supreme Court heard arguments on his administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, with Trump claiming the court “IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS,” according to CNBC.
Trump’s comments underscore the domestic political challenges his administration faces as it works to implement its policy agenda amid judicial scrutiny and growing celebrity opposition to his presidency.

Springsteen Feud Intensifies
The president’s social media barrage was triggered in part by Bruce Springsteen’s pointed criticism during the opening night of his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour in Manchester, England on Wednesday. The 75-year-old rock star delivered what The Washington Post described as a “searing criticism” of the Trump administration, calling it “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous” during his performance.
Trump responded forcefully to Springsteen’s overseas comments, writing: “I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States.” The president continued his attack with personal insults, stating he “never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics” and describing the iconic musician as “not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK.” Trump’s post escalated with a thinly veiled threat, suggesting Springsteen “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country” and ominously adding, “Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”
Swift Commentary Resurfaces
The president also targeted pop superstar Taylor Swift in his Friday social media spree, reviving tensions that date back to the 2024 presidential campaign when Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris. “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'” Trump wrote, referencing his previous criticism of the singer.
This latest comment comes months after Swift announced she would be voting for Harris in an Instagram post she signed “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.” The singer had previously compared Trump’s presidency to an “autocracy” and accused him of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism,” according to media reports. Swift has largely remained out of the public eye in recent months after concluding her record-breaking international “Eras Tour” in December.
Supreme Court Confrontation
Trump’s criticism of the Supreme Court reflects growing tension between his administration and the judiciary over several high-profile legal cases. The president wrote that the Court “IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS, WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES THEM, AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF.”
The comments came just as the Court ruled 7-2 against his administration in a case involving the controversial Alien Enemies Act, which Trump has invoked to deport Venezuelan nationals accused of gang membership. According to CNBC’s reporting, the Court determined that the administration had not given detainees sufficient time or adequate resources to challenge their deportations, though it did not rule on whether the Act itself had been applied correctly.
Legislative Challenges
Beyond his attacks on celebrities and the judiciary, Trump also used his social media platform to press congressional Republicans to unite behind his legislative agenda. The president called on GOP lawmakers to pass a “one, big, beautiful bill” that would include his promised tax cuts while also removing “millions of Illegal Aliens off of Medicaid to PROTECT it for those who are the ones in real need.”
This legislative push comes amid reports of internal Republican disagreements over spending priorities, with the president warning that failure to pass his agenda “will be blamed on the Democrats, but that doesn’t help our Voters.” The comments highlight ongoing challenges within the GOP-controlled Congress, where the president recently experienced a setback when hardline Republicans blocked his sweeping tax cut package, demanding deeper spending cuts first.
