Meanwhile, another post came up on Facebook, which had a caption that said:

"Stand for something or fall for everything."

It is, however, to be clarified that while the video of Bruce Springsteen falling is not fake, the timeline is misleading. The incident occurred in May 2023, as that was when the video first surfaced on social media platforms.

Multiple videos dating back to 2023 showed the same clip of Bruce falling. According to reports by Entertainment Weekly, he was performing at a concert in Amsterdam when he had the fall. The other members of the E Street Band were soon seen rushing to help Bruce get up.

Thus, the musician tripping and falling can't be linked to his recent remarks about Donald Trump. The viral video further made many people comment that it was his "karma" due to which he fell. One X user commented about the same and wrote:

"Karma. 😅"

Amid Bruce's comments against Trump, several posts have been circulated across social media that were misleading. Rumors about him getting booed during a concert in Atlanta, to Billy Joel cancelling his summer tour with Bruce, social media has had several posts of this nature pop up lately.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump also did not back down. He uploaded a post on Truth Social on May 19, 2025, and wrote:

"THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!"

On May 21, Bruce then released a digital EP containing content which were reportedly anti-Trump. The EP titled Land of Hope and Dreams contained four tracks as well as two recordings of his addresses in Manchester. The titles of the recordings present in the EP were:

The EP was reportedly made available on streaming platforms on Wednesday morning. On May 21, Trump further posted a satirical clip on his Truth Social account. The clip showed Trump taking a swing on the golf course and the ball then hitting Bruce Springsteen in the back, thus leading to the fall on the stage.

The video gained much popularity and was liked more than 26K times. However, it could be concluded that the video of the musician falling dates back to May 2023.
