Donald Trump Jr. Has Thoughts About Bruce Springsteen's Arrest

Donald Trump Jr. recently made waves on Twitter after expressing his displeasure with certain commercials in the Super Bowl LV game. In his now-viral tweet, Don Jr. condemned the Super Bowl ads for leading the charge on a movement that he referred to as "woketopia." Mere minutes into the 2021 Super Bowl, Donald Trump's son fired off a tweet that read: "One comercial in and it's already woketopia." Predictably, many of Don Jr.'s devoted followers were quick to support his criticism. One Twitter user echoed his sentiments, writing: "I would love to watch a sporting event without politics or wokeness being involved." Trump Jr. didn't specify which ad, in particular, he was referring to, but subsequent social media shade may have unravelled that particular mystery. In early February, it was revealed that the legendary singer, songwriter, and musician Bruce Springsteen had been arrested on DWI charges in November 2020 in his native New Jersey. To make matters worse, this DWI news broke after Springsteen drummed up positive press for his appearance in a 2021 Super Bowl commercial. The Boss appeared in a Jeep ad that offered up sentiments of hope and patriotism — exactly the same type of Super Bowl ad that Donald Trump Jr. appeared to be criticizing on Twitter for being "too woke." Upon hearing of Springsteen's recent DWI arrest, Don Jr. quickly took to the internet to air his grievances. He tweeted: "Wow. Glad [Springsteen's] doing phony preachy car commercials during the #SuperBowl." He then fired off yet another tweet that read: "Was he in a Jeep? #SuperBowl." So how has the internet reacted to Donald Trump Jr.'s attempts to troll the Boss on Twitter? Well, even though The Boss has perhaps been in better graces with the public, some people are still feeling like Trump Jr. could have a "Hungry Heart" — especially given the current political climate. Attaching an image of a ticket issued to Don Jr. in 2001 for public intoxication, one Twitter user wrote: "Glass houses knuckle head!!" Meanwhile, another said: "You should probably be watching the impeachment trial. They just mentioned you. [Your] whole family should be more than a little nervous right now." Yet another critic tweeted: "Dude. You really wanna go there? While you're tweeting about someone's DUI, I'm watching never before seen footage of your daddy's foot soldiers trying to assassinate our former VP." Finally, one user said: "At least [Bruce Springsteen] built a career, opposed to being the product of nepotism." So yeah, people weren't generally in the mood to hear from Don Jr., especially in the midst of his father's second impeachment trial. Meanwhile, according to TMZ, Springsteen was apparently "cooperative" during his arrest. The singer is scheduled to appear in court in February 2021. It's not a great look for the rocker, but clearly, plenty of folks think Donald Trump Jr. should still quiet down. Still, that doesn't mean the Boss is off the hook entirely. Indeed, many people were less than thrilled with the classic rock singer's Jeep commercial to begin with. Springsteen, who performed at President Joe Biden's inauguration concert, rarely appears in commercials or makes splashy on-screen appearances. And, judging by the reception his Super Bowl ad received, maybe it's better that way. The New York Post described the two-minute TV commercial, entitled "The Middle," as "tone-deaf." The ad features Springsteen driving a 1980 Jeep CJ-5 to a Chapel in Kansas, where he finds the exact center of the lower 48. The singer then calls for unity, hoping people can find the middle ground between red and blue. Obviously, this message didn't sit well with many. As one Twitter user summed up: "The more I think about the Bruce Springsteen Jeep ad, the more disgusted I get. It's allegedly a call for unity, but it is drenched in a very particular culture's iconography: a Christian church (that superimposes the cross on the US flag), farms, rural living [...] the kind of 'unity' designed to comfort." That ad has now been pulled — not because of its reception, but because of the news of the arrest of its leading man. As such, both Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump Jr. have clearly seen better days. Maybe they can just meet in the middle? Or, then again… maybe not.
