Bruce Springsteen says Trump is ‘unfit’ and ‘incompetent’ in remarks during UK show
CNN ^ | 5/15/26 | Jack Guy

Posted on 05/15/2025 6:50:14 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Rock megastar Bruce Springsteen has made a series of critical remarks about US President Donald Trump and the policies of his administration, calling the American leader “unfit” for office.

“The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock n’ roll in dangerous times,” Springsteen said at the beginning of a concert in Manchester, northern England, on Wednesday.

“In my home, the America I love — the America I’ve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years — is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” he said.

“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American spirit to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism,” added Springsteen.

Note that he said in it the UK.

The UK’s Deep State is truly getting desperate.

None are from Massachusetts, though the founder died in Massachusetts.

Most were from New York and they formed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts where several members were attending.

The same people who criticize Trump said Biden was “Sharp and Intelligent.”

I wonder if political activists will at some point in time be uninvited to functions ir venues where they can speak into a microphone in front of audiences and cameras who are there for a totally different purpose.

Too bad he’s so popular and hip with the “in crowd”...otherwise he could have suffered the same fate as the Dixie Chicks. Not that I own or listen to his music anyway. He only has one good song.

Why do sheep pay thousands to listen to someone spout crap when they can read about it for free the next day?

You beat me to it.

But I do struggle with brilliantly talented rock icons like Paul McCartney having essentially the same views.

If this guy were consistent and accurate he should have said that last year.

Talk about unfit and incompetent, Springsteen has not put out a memorable piece of music since the late 80s.

He suffers from chronic depression. However, he generously attempts to share it.

Bruce Springsteen is a well-known supporter of the Democratic Party. He has consistently endorsed Democratic presidential candidates and has been actively involved in campaigns, including those of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and most recently Kamala Harris. In 2024, he even joined Harris and Obama for a campaign rally in Atlanta.

aka propaganda agent with fame and flame.

This New Jersey clown is competing with Neil Young and DeNiro. I wouldn’t see his concert if you paid me, because his material is boring. He is making bank in Europe with 18 dates at venues with average 60,000 capacity.

At least Biden had an excuse for falling all over the place all the time.

Springsteen is just an untalented oaf with a bad case of TDS.
