President Trump angered fans of music icons Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Bruce Springsteen (AKA The Boss) on Thursday after he threw shade at them during a campaign rally in Minneapolis.


Bragging about the size of his 2016 campaign rallies to the crowd gathered at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis, Trump attempted to belittle Hillary Clinton, a constant focus of his wrath since the election, by dragging the high-profile musical acts that performed at her campaign events.

Trump told the cheering crowd:

"I didn't need Beyoncé and Jay-Z. And I didn't need little Bruce Springsteen and all of these people."

Little Bruce Springsteen?

Check out his Greatest Hits, available here, to see how big The Boss is.

Seriously.

Trump then went on to claim that the musicians would "come in because she couldn't get a crowd."

He added:

"[Springsteen] would do about two songs and leave. What happens is they leave and then everyone leaves with them, and she's still speaking in front of the same lousy crowd. Craziest thing I've ever seen!"

Trump then proceeded to throw Jay-Z under the bus while complaining about being criticized for using bad language, saying:

"The other day I used the word 'hell'–I got hell–they said 'he used terrible language!' I used the word 'hell', it was so bad. But you gotta hear Jay-Z, the words he was using. He was using the f-word all over the place, and then the next day they said I used bad language. The word 'hell' is a terrible word. These people are sick."

But "hell" isn't the only bad word Trump has been chastised for using recently. He used an all-caps "BULLS–T" in a tweet slamming Democrats for "wasting everyone's time" by pursuing impeachment, which is arguably a much worse word than "hell."

Needless to say, people were upset by Trump's dig at the musicians.

Even presidential hopeful Cory Booker got in on the action.

Trump might be in for a world of hurt.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
