The “Born in the U.S.A.” singer, who backed his opponent in the 2024 elections, is among the few public icons to publicly criticise the Trump administration.
At a Manchester event on May 14, Bruce Springsteen gave an impassioned statement against Donald Trump and his government. The criticism came quickly, with some supporters even saying he ought to leave the nation.
While launching his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour with the E Street Band in Manchester, the singer made the comments live.
During the show, Springsteen told the crowd, “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.”
