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

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."

Bruce Springsteen doesn’t have a grasp on what it is like to be a singer.

Didn’t this guy have some hits back in seventies? Now I want the Hall and Oates perspective too.

It was the theme song to that boring gay movie “Philadelphia” in 1994 or so

I am not sure if it was a “hit” or just “known”.

Bruce is a completely worthless POS. The world will be a better place when he is six feet under.

Ever since this “star”, as “stars” do, when they crap on American military veterans, I have been doing it to this “star”.

I’d be willing to bet Trump has had many more conversations with regular Americans(especially blue collar who BS is supposed to be all about) than Springsteen.

Bruce Springsteen = BS

Of course Gail had her nose too far up Bruce’s smelly ass to ask him what has him so frightened. Maybe she could have asked him for an example of where the president is taking the country. She could never do that because she was too busy nodding in agreement. President Trump has more American in his pinkie then Bruce can ever dream of having.

Who appointed him the arbiter of what’s American and what’s not?

I know there are those who like his music, but to me, one type of hell would include being forced to listen to any of it.

I don’t know that word, but he sings like McCain talked: teeth permanently clenched in anger from the constant constipation.

He doesn’t have a guess on life or America. That attitude makes them childish, dumb and out of it.

His grasp is on self, booze and drugs.. what does he know about anything else.

You know what is odd?

My Mom made me watch that movie when it came into the theater. I never seen it again.

I have never seen it on Television. I never see it in programming. I never seen it offered on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. What gives? Was it just a social experiment by the deep state?

I dont think I heard that song on the radio in 20+ years.

Despite being a “critically acclaimed” movie.
