Bruce Springsteen: President Trump "doesn't have a grasp" on what it means to be American
CBS News ^ | 24 Oct 2019 | Anonymous

Posted on 10/26/2019 11:30:25 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Legendary singer and songwriter Bruce Springsteen says Americans are living in "a frightening time" because of the country's leadership. In an interview with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King, Springsteen responded to President Trump's comments at a Minneapolis rally earlier this month on how he "didn't need little Bruce Springsteen" and other celebrities like Beyoncé and Jay Z, who supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

King asked, "So he's going back to 2016. And this is now 2019. You surprised that he's trash-talking you after all this time?" Springsteen laughed.

"Not really. Anything's possible," he said.

"I know. I mean, a lot of people are very concerned about the direction of the country," King said.

It's just frightening, you know? We're living in a frightening time," Springsteen replied. "The stewardship of the nation is — has been thrown away to somebody who doesn't have a clue as to what that means ... And unfortunately, we have somebody who I feel doesn't have a grasp of the deep meaning of what it means to be an American."

Is Bruce Springsteen the one who sings like a Valsalva maneuver?

You should be frightened Bruce. Living without the love of The Father is terrifying.

Liberals don’t grasp what it is to be an American. They are the worst kind of traitors who wrap themselves in the flag ,quote from the Constitution and calls themselves patriots yet they are enemies of what everything America stands for!

so many entertainers are communists or nazis or other extremely anti-American far leftists

even a few of the really talented actors/singers

we are taught that we each are given different gifts in this life

many actors and singers have entertaining talents but are idiots when it comes to American civics or moral values

its so sad, but fortunately I don’t look to singers for moral or ethical (or political) guidance

Last week I speculated that it was time for an entertainer to bubble to the top of the punch list that is orchestrated by the Left to attack Trump. Looks like it was the philosopher/savant Bruce Springsteen.

Sorry to hear that Bruce Springfield has early onset dementia.

Fortunately, he's wealthy enough to afford top-of-the-line adult diapers.

What an idiot.
This is your brain on drugs. This is your brain on a steady dose of stardom. This is your brain when you put it out to pasture at age 18.

Rick "She Called Me Bruce, Bruce" Springsteen has always been one of the great thinkers of the last millenium.

Yes, it's very easy to see them going along with the Stasi or the KGB if they were in that situation. In order to protect their privileged lifestyles.

We're getting out of Syria, a war we never should have started.
Trade deficits are getting addressed.
Low to middle class wages are trending up.
Minority unemployment is down.
Violent crime is trending down.

I'm sorry, what is Trump getting wrong about America?

Bruce is the guy who made a fortune fame and success by teaching millions how to be losers. And now spends his dottage with the horsy set.

sure, they’re going along with the SS already
(SorozNazi Seditionists)

what concerns me is that they do NOT have to be promoting communism leftism naziism or any other form of extremist politics

or any politics, for that matter.

they are paid super incomes just for singing or acting, my Lord they should be HAPPY and leave things alone that they obviously have no understanding of

i don’t try to sing opera or play basketball, not having those talents

they should keep their big mouths shut about politics (at least until they take an elementary American civics course!)
