President Donald Trump has called for a "major investigation" into celebrities who aided Kamala Harris' 2024 election campaign, including Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah, and Bono, saying their appearances were potentially illegal contributions. The president's call for an investigation comes amid a spat between Trump and Springsteen, after the musician, known as The Boss, opened his tour on Wednesday night by calling the Trump administration "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous." In response, Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social and called Springsteen "a pushy, obnoxious JERK" and a "dried-out 'prune' of a rocker." Springsteen spoke out again after Trump's social media post, saying that events in America "are altering the very nature of our country's democracy."
Just after last year's election, there were claims that Beyoncé was paid $10 million for her appearance in Harris' campaign. But the singer's mother, Tina Knowles, hit back in a post on Instagram targeting the conservative commentator Candace Owens' post about it. "So, this has been flagged on Instagram as fake news and taken down. It's called false Information," Knowles said. "The lie is that Beyoncé was paid $10 million to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris," she added. "When in fact: Beyoncé did not receive a penny for speaking at a Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in Houston." "In fact, she actually paid for her own flights for her and her team, and total Glam," she said.

What's next Herr Trump? Deporting liberal American entertainers to your El Salvador prison?
IIRC, Trump uses songs by pop artists at his rally's without the permissions to do so.
This is the kind of thing that really gets his little bitch supporters going too, instead of the sane things a president should do. Who wanted four more years of this shit? Trump's little bitch supporters, of course. Has this country ever been more derelict, and ignorant, in its citizenry? Nope, not even close.
What a little bitch.
As I recall, Beyonce was paid $1m for her appearance.
Yeah, there were a lot of rumors.See article above. According to Beyonce's mother - Tina Knowles - Beyonce received nothing for her appearances and even paid her own airfare to attend Harris rallies.
Many entertainers - including Springsteen - had to threaten the Trump campaign with lawsuits for using artist songs without permission.
It's victim politics from the people constantly complaining about snowflakes and a loss of masculinity.This is the kind of thing that really gets his little bitch supporters going too, instead of the sane things a president should do.

Hopefully Donald will issue an EO imposing tariffs on Beyoncé.
Just lashing out like a rabid dog.Yeah, there were a lot of rumors.
I found this.
However, Politico reported that these allegations have been refuted by Beyoncé’s mother and Winfrey, who insisted that the artists did not receive any personal fees for their endorsements. Campaign finance records indicate that Harris’ campaign paid $165,000 to Beyoncé’s production company and $1 million was paid to Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions.
Maybe it's the payment to Oprah I was thinking about.
What constitutes an illegal contribution? If the performers worked for free, then I could see how that may need to be reported. I expect the law is fairly explicit on these matters. Should be an open and shut case.
But this is just another weave-brain cry for help. It's not supposed to make sense.
I can't help but wonder if our DP Magas act like Trump away from the DP site.Righties will be here soon to excuse this.
I put them into two categories. Those who genuinely have been sucked into the cult and can NOT abide any criticism of Trump.I can't help but wonder if our DP Magas act like Trump away from the DP site.
The "birds of a feather" analogy may be at the heart of their Trump worshipping affliction.
They never defend Dysfunctional Donald. All they do is attack others to try to distract away from the clown show that is Dysfunctional Donald.Righties will be here soon to excuse this.
Most of them never signed up for all of this. They were brought along slowly and got into it deeper and deeper until they can't get out without losing a lot of face and friends in their deplorable peer pressure groups. They avoid facts like the plague. Instead they focus on bullshit rumors they reinforce by repetition. They are their own security blanket against the reality of the real world and real news.I put them into two categories. Those who genuinely have been sucked into the cult and can NOT abide any criticism of Trump.
The 2nd category, I suspect, are those that might be getting spooked a bit by how insane Trump is behaving, but still need feel the need to "troll the left" for giggles.
8647. Like!He's an authoritarian.
He's getting Americans used to the idea of people being routinely investigated.
They won't make an appearance in this thread.Righties will be here soon to excuse this.
