Bruce Springsteen's Bold Words Against Trump

Manchester, EnglandThu May 15 2025
Bruce Springsteen, the legendary rock star, recently took the stage in Manchester, England. He had a lot to say about the current state of his home country, the United States. He was not holding back. Springsteen believes that the U. S. is currently in the hands of a corrupt and incompetent administration. He said this during a concert with his band, the E Street Band. Springsteen's remarks were not just about the administration but also about the policies it has been pushing. He spoke about the richest men in America taking pleasure in abandoning the world's poorest children. He also talked about the administration's rollback of historic civil rights legislation. This legislation had led to a more just and plural society. He mentioned the administration's abandonment of great allies and siding with dictators. He also criticized the administration's defunding of American universities that do not bow down to their ideological demands. He also talked about the removal of residents from American streets and their deportation to foreign detention centers and prisons. Springsteen did not stop at criticizing the administration. He also had words for the lawmakers. He criticized them for failing to protect the American people from what he called "an unfit president and a rogue government. " He also said that they have "no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American. " Springsteen believes that the America he has sung about for 50 years is real. He acknowledges that it has its faults but is a great country with great people. He believes that it will survive this moment. The Manchester show was the first on the European leg of Springsteen and the E Street Band’s “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour. The tour will also take in dates in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic. The tour is a testament to the enduring popularity of Springsteen and his band. It also shows that they are not afraid to use their platform to speak out on important issues. Springsteen's criticism of Trump is not new. He previously criticized Trump and urged Americans to vote for Kamala Harris at a campaign rally for the Democratic candidate last year. His criticism of Trump comes after Hollywood star Robert De Niro took aim at the US president at the Cannes Film Festival. De Niro also spoke about the importance of standing up to Trump. He ended his speech with a call for people to stand up to Trump "without violence, but with great passion and determination. " De Niro also emphasized the importance of voting. Springsteen's remarks are a reminder that artists have a powerful platform. They can use this platform to speak out on important issues. They can also use it to inspire others to take action.
