‘Illegal campaign contribution’: Jealous Trump’s frenzied attack on A-listers shows how deeply their rejection has wounded him

President Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform to attack several well-known celebrities, calling for a “major investigation” into their supposed involvement in what he claims was an illegal effort to support Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign. These accusations, which he made without providing any proof, focused on Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Bono.

Trump’s first post, shared early in the morning, questioned how much money Harris’s campaign supposedly paid Springsteen for appearing at campaign events. He suggested these payments were illegal campaign donations, implying a secret deal between the campaign and the musician. Later posts repeated and expanded on these claims, specifically accusing Beyoncé of receiving $11 million for a short endorsement that Trump claimed the audience did not like.
