BREAKING: White House BLOWS A GASKET over Springsteen tour — responds with anger and bad puns.

The Boss struck a chord — and the White House hit a sour note.

When Bruce Springsteen announced the North American leg of his Land of Hope and Dreams tour, he didn’t hold back. He promised fans he’d be “rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington D.C.”

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the MAGA agenda, to say the least.

For once, Donald Trump didn’t immediately fire off a late-night rant. Instead, Politico had to poke the White House for comment — and what they got was… something.

Senior Communications Director Steven Cheung unleashed a rambling, pun-stuffed insult calling Springsteen a “loser” whose “Glory Days are behind him,” claiming fans had left him “Out in the Street” and stuck him in a “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.”

And we bet he thought that he was being clever, instead of embarrassing.

It read less like a serious rebuttal and more like someone frantically Googled Springsteen song titles at 2 a.m. “City of Ruins in his head”? “Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his brain”? The only thing missing was a “Born to Run” reference to really complete the dad-joke trifecta.

But here’s the bigger picture.

Springsteen has been one of Trump’s most outspoken critics for years — and he’s only gotten louder in Trump’s second term. He’s blasted immigration crackdowns, dropped protest songs, and now he’s launching a tour explicitly framed as a defense of democracy.

And where does it kick off? Minneapolis. Where does it end? Washington, D.C.

That’s not subtle.

The irony is rich: while Springsteen talks about constitutional freedoms and democratic ideals, the White House is busy crafting insult-laden run-on sentences.

If this is the administration’s idea of counterprogramming, they might want to workshop the material. Because when The Boss talks about defending the American dream, millions listen.

And no barrage of awkward puns is going to drown that out.

As always, be a saint in the city, and please like and share all across jungleland to stave off the darkness on the edge of town.

See, Steven Cheung? We can make bad puns, too.
