“In my house, the America I really like, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is at the moment within the fingers of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” he mentioned in between songs at his Manchester present in Might.
“Tonight, we ask all who imagine in democracy and one of the best of our American expertise to rise with us, increase your voices towards authoritarianism and let freedom ring,” he continued, elsewhere throughout the set including, “There’s some very bizarre, unusual and harmful s— happening on the market proper now.”
Trump responded to Springsteen a number of days later in a submit on his Fact Social platform.
“I see that Extremely Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a International Nation to talk badly in regards to the President of america. By no means appreciated him, by no means appreciated his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a gifted man — Only a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who got here near destroying our Nation.”
Springsteen introduced final 12 months that he can be voting for former Vice President Kamala Harris throughout the 2024 presidential race.
