During a new interview with comedian Marc Maron on the WTF podcast, Bruce Springsteen questioned President-elect Donald Trumps basic competency three weeks before hes set to take the oath of office. Ive felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now, Springsteen said. Its as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility? The rocker, who campaigned for Hillary Clinton, went on to express his concerns that Trumps campaign unleashed bigotry, racism, intolerance that will be difficult to quell now that he will be in the White House. Whether its a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American, Springsteen added. Thats what hes appealing to. My fears are that those things find a place in ordinary civil society.
That would be the one.
