More than half a year has passed since Donald Trump narrowly defeated Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the United States' 2024 presidential election, yet he continues to hold a grudge against celebrities who supported the former vice president — including Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé and U2 leader Bono.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, "HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE?WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN? ISN'T THAT ILLEGAL? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ, OPRAH, AND BONO? I am calling for a major investigation."

Trump's obsession with these celebrities is receiving a lot of reactions on X, formerly Twitter.

X user Stefana Uzunova wrote, "I am wondering why President Trump even bothers to respond to Mr. Springsteen. Mr. Springsteen has not had a hit song in ages. He is trying to remain relevant by criticizing major politicians."

But many other posts were critical of Trump, not the celebrities who supported Harris.

Democratic Wins Media posted video of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder performing Springsteen's "My City of Ruins" as an expression of solidarity with The Boss and a statement against Trump.

Democratic Wins Media commented, "This is awesome. America is waking up."

Attorney Tracey Gallagher posted, "I was thinking your next rant was going to be Obama, but now it's Harris and Springsteen."

Author Oli London tweeted, "Trump slams Bruce Springsteen AGAIN, after the rocker went on another tirade against the President."

Bono (also known as Paul Hewson) is a global rockstar and has been named as a member of the Top 100 of The New Establishment.

"In 2006, Bono and Bobby Shriver launched Product (RED) to raise money from businesses to buy AIDS drugs for people in Africa unable to afford them. Product (RED) has an ongoing relationship with a number of iconic global brands that sell (RED) products and donate a percentage of the profits directly to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

"Bono also helped launch EDUN, an ethically-sourced high fashion clothing company run by his wife Ali Hewson; EDUN produces clothing in developing areas of the world, particularly in Africa.

"Bono has received a number of awards for his music and activism, including the Legion D'Honneur from the French Government in 2003, TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2005 (along with Bill and Melinda Gates), and an honorary British knighthood in 2007." [1]
