Bruce Springsteen had some choice words for President Donald Trump and his administration during the opening night of his Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis Tuesday, and now Trump has responded.

During the concert, The Boss noted that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” asking the audience to choose “hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division, and peace over war.”

In his response, Trump took aim at Springsteen’s looks and called for a boycott of his concerts.

“Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote on social media Thursday.

He then added, “MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!”

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams American tour hits Portland, Oregon, on Friday. It wraps with an outdoor show on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. A complete list of dates can be found at BruceSpringsteen.net.
