Tom Morello has issued a public challenge to Donald Trump after a social media post mocking Bruce Springsteen went viral. However, the post attributed to Trump turned out to be fake.
What Triggered Morello’s Response?
A viral post, allegedly from Trump’s Truth Social account, claimed: “Recently Melania took Barron, A GREAT GUITARIST, to see overrated, communist singer, Bruce Springstern. NOT IMPRESSED!!!”
The post caught attention for its spelling errors and was mocked by the X user @PopularLiberal, who wrote: “Did the model conman dad really misspell his son’s name? How can you make that mistake? Classic!”
The tweet, viewed over 430,000 times, reached Morello, a longtime friend and collaborator of Springsteen.
Morello’s Challenge
Defending Springsteen, Morello tweeted: “My 13-year-old son Roman will step forward to defend @springsteen’s honor and destroy Barron in a guitar competition. Just name the time and place!” The challenge quickly went viral, amassing over 435,000 views.
The Truth Behind Trump’s Alleged Post
Despite its popularity, AOL debunked the post as fake. No credible sources reported Trump making the statement, and no such post exists on his Truth Social account.
While the supposed diss and boast turned out to be fabricated, the incident highlights Morello’s willingness to stand by Springsteen—guitar duel or not.
