A rumor that carmaker Jeep stopped advertising with musician Bruce Springsteen circulated online following his public criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump in mid-May 2025. The Facebook page America's Last Line of Defense posted the rumor on May 17, 2025:

Donald Trump’s diatribe comes just days after Bruce Springsteen told an audience that he believed the current US administration was ‘corrupt, incompetent and treasonous’

On Wednesday, Springsteen said to his audience: “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”

His remarks, delivered to an audience abroad, stood out at a time when other superstar artists have seemed to mute their criticism of the president.

Donald Trump is firing back at Bruce Springsteen after the singer lashed out at his 'corrupt' administration during a show: 'This dried-out prune of a rocker ought to keep his mouth shut.'
