Bruce Springsteen has slammed Donald Trump as ‘corrupt and incompetent,’ as the singer also insisted he ‘couldn’t care less’ what the US president thinks of him
It’s safe to say Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump aren’t close
Bruce Springsteen has continued his feud with Donald Trump as the singer voiced his support for the impeachment of the president.
The Born in the USA hitmaker expressed his indifference towards what Trump, who made history in 2021 by being impeached twice but acquitted on both occasions, thinks of him. He further suggested that the president should be “consigned to the trash heap of history.”
In a new interview, Springsteen discussed his public feud with Trump and stated, “I absolutely couldn’t care less what he thinks about me.” It comes after the pair avoided running into one another at the US Open in New York.

Speaking to TIME magazine, Springsteen added, “He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.

“A lot of people bought into his lies. He doesn’t care about the forgotten anybody but himself and the multibillionaires who stood behind him on Inauguration Day.”
However, the 76-year-old rock legend expressed concern over the lack of a viable alternative to the Republican Party at present. He remarked, “You have to face the fact that a good number of Americans are simply comfortable with his politics of power and dominance.
“We’re desperately in need of an effective alternative party, or for the Democratic Party to find someone who can speak to the majority of the nation. There is a problem with the language that they’re using and the way they’re trying to reach people.”

He’s repeatedly criticized Donald Trump
Earlier this year, the president labeled Springsteen a “pushy, obnoxious JERK” and suggested he’s “dumb as a rock” after the singer criticized the “corruption” and “incompetence” of his administration during a concert in Manchester, North England.
In reference to Springsteen campaigning for former US President Joe Biden, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, “Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse! )?
“This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied! ) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare’. Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”
The president further fumed, “Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy – Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK.”
