New Jersey is indeed for enemies. Bruce Springsteen degenerated his beef with Donald Trump, dropping an entire EP of anti-Trump jérémeds. According to Variety,, The songs (and the intros just angry) all come from the opening evening of the last tour of the boss. Recorded in Manchester on May 14, Land of hope and dreams To four songs and two introductory diatribes. Springsteen’s remarks prompted Trump to publish wild stuff on Truth Social, but the same goes for the perceived demotation of Columbus Day. How have things completed “not like us” between the boss and the prez? Here is a complete chronology of the beef.
1984: President Ronald Reagan so unfortunately misunderstood “Born in the USA” by Springsteen, which he radicalized the boss, according to the biographer Marc Dolan. The song talks about an unhappy veteran, but Reagan called it full of hope and idealistic. This prompted Springsteen to be more expressed in his working position and allow left -wing organizations to collect funds during his shows.
2008: Springsteen performs during concerts for Obama throughout the rust belt. “After the disaster for the past eight years, we need someone to lead to an American recovery project,” he said during a show. The previous electoral year, he also made an anti-Bush tour with other musicians.
2021: Springsteen and former President Barack Obama co-organize a podcast together. The show is subtitled “Born in the USA”, which, you know, must piss off the ghost of Reagan.
September 2016: In an interview for Roller,, Springsteen says that “the Republic is besieged by a moron”, referring to Trump and what we know now will be a successful presidential campaign. “Everything is tragic. Without exaggerating it, it is a tragedy for our democracy … The ideas he moves to the dominant current are all very dangerous ideas – White nationalism and the Alt-Droit movement. The scandalous things he did – Don’t you immediately disavow David Duke? These are things that are obviously beyond the pale for any previous political candidate. It would immediately flow your application. Later that year, he will call Trump a “conman” on the BBC and will perform in a rally Hillary Clinton.
2020: Springsteen used his Siriusxm show to extract for Joe Biden. He made an entire episode entitled “Farewell to the Thief” due to the holder and described his administration as “the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime”.
October 2024: Springsteen officially approves Kamala Harris in an IG video, affirming that “the disdain for the sacred nature of our constitution, the sacred character of democracy, the sacredness of the rule of law and the sacredness of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify it from the office of the post of president.” Later in the month, he attended gatherings for Harris in Philly and Georgia.
May 14, 2025: Springsteen called Trump 2.0 during his first show during his European tour. “The Mighty E Street Band is here this evening to call on the right power of art, music, rock ‘n’ roll in dangerous,” he said while presenting his 2001 “Land of Hope and Dreams” piece. Springsteen called Trump’s administrator “corrupt, incompetent and betrayal”.
Trump answered the call of Springsteen, calling it as a “price” of a rocker “and that his skin had” atrophy “. On Truth Social, he said: “I never liked him, never liked his music, nor his radical left policy and, above all, he is not a talented guy – just an arrogant and unpleasant shock, who supported Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent idiot, and our worst president, who was close to destroy our country.” Earlier in the day, Trump also said that Taylor Swift was “no longer” hot “”, which is about as counterfactual as Springsteen’s pretension needs advice on skin care. The man shines.
May 21, 2025: Springsteen announces the Land of hope and dreams Ep. In response, Trump shares a fan edition of him by hitting a golf ball, which seems to trip Springsteen on stage.
