Bruce Springsteen Blasts 'Incompetent And Treasonous' Trump Administration

Bruce Springsteen on stage in Manchester on Wednesday nightBruce Springsteen sounded off on US leader Donald Trump and his administration while across the pond for the first date of his latest tour.The rock legend delivered a patriotic message while performing in Manchester on Wednesday night, where he told his fans: “The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times.”“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” he continued in a video posted on X by one of the concert’s attendees.“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us,” he added. “Raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”The Boss then sailed into his 2001 track Land Of Hopes And Dreams, singing lyrics like: “Dreams will not be thwarted. Faith will be rewarded. Hear the steel wheels singing. Bells of freedom ringing.”During another interlude at the concert, Springsteen talked about the “very weird, strange and dangerous shit going on” in the States. Donald Trump“In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. That is happening now,” he said. “In my country, they are taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers, they are rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and moral society.”“They’re abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom,” Springsteen continued.The Born In The U.S.A. singer has never been a fan of the current president.During the Republican’s 2016 run for president against Hillary Clinton, Springsteen told Rolling Stone he thought Trump was a “moron” with “dangerous ideas”.“The whole thing is tragic,” he said of the reality TV star-turned-politician’s popularity. “Without overstating it, it’s a tragedy for our democracy.”Eight years later, Springsteen dubbed Trump the “most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime” while endorsing the Democratic candiate Kamala Harris in last year’s US election.Related...Robert De Niro Kicks Off Cannes Film Festival With Blistering Speech About 'Philistine' TrumpNancy Sinatra Shuts Down Bold Claim About Donald Trump And Her Late Father, Frank SinatraTV Legend William Shatner Fires Back At Trump's 'Insulting' Offer
