COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

     President Donald Trump has called for a “major investigation” into former Vice President Kamala Harris’ methods of paying for popular artists during her campaign rallies. It will be interesting.

     The 47th president called out the former vice president for her star-studded campaign events that led up to last November’s presidential election. In his Truth Social post, Trump named dropped many celebrities who participated in Harris’s campaign, such as Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey and U2’s Bono.

    “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT?” the president asked in an all-caps tirade on his Truth Social. “WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???” 

     Trump wrote.“I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter,” Trump said, calling it “a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.”  The call for an investigation comes after Harris had received endorsements from high-profile celebrities after she entered the race last July following former President Joe Biden’s ousting.  High-profile artists like Katy Perry, Megan Thee Stallion, Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and Mumford & Sons all performed at campaign events in an effort to drive voter turnout.  In October 2024, Springsteen performed during an October rally at Temple University. First three days prior, Beyoncé made an appearance alongside Harris at a rally in Houston, but didn’t perform, prompting anger from fans.
