Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has described Donald Trump as an embarrassment to the United States, saying the Republican presidential candidate is a demagogue with simple solutions.

Springsteen, who has dramatized the plight of working-class Americans in his music, said he understands how Trump could seem “compelling” to people who are economically insecure. “The absurdity is beyond cartoon-like. But he's gotten close enough (to the White House) so it can make you nervous,” he told Skavlan, a talk show in Norway and Sweden, during an interview released Friday. […]

Springsteen is one of these frauds who pretends he represents the common man, but who, in reality, is all about glorifying himself. The common man loves and has pride in this country. The common man despises self serving elitists like Springsteen who embrace policies that harm the common man while pretending he`s doing him a favor.

Why is it that people who have never held a real job in their entire lives such as Obama and Bruce think that they are smarter and understand working people better than actual working people. Bruce you have been living a fantasy your entire life... you don’t have any meaningful life experiences that give you insight about normal people.

I’ll give you a call when anyone cares what you think Bruce. That’ll be around the time hell freezes over.

I’d rather listen to Bobby Pickett for ten years than Springsteen for five seconds, frankly.

Springsteen is yet to discover music, never mind musicianship.

Springsteen, aka The Boss? PFFFT!!!! I never did like his music. Sounds like he’s been trying to make a bowel movement for the last 40 years.

Hardly the same. They bashed a sitting president in another country. He bashed a private citizen. Do it in February and I agree.
