Springsteen, England, explodes the Trump administration as `betrayal ” ‘

On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen opened her “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour in Manchester, England, with an energetic denunciation of President Trump, accusing him as well as his administration of trampling on civil rights and workers, the abandonment of the allies and the siege of dictators.

Even for an admitted liberal like Mr. Springsteen, it was a wide range of drilling at a time when some artists seemed to avoid Mr. Trump directly as they did in 2017, after taking up his duties the first time. At the time, many eminent interpreters and celebrities gave up Mr. Trump during programs and gatherings and on television.

Appearing in Manchester, Mr. Springsteen, 75, criticized Mr. Trump in distinct remarks in front of his songs “Land of Hope and Dreams”, “House of a Thousand Guitars” and “My City of Ruins”. He then published a transcription of his comments on his website and a video of them on his YouTube channel.

“The Mighty E Street Band is here this evening to call on the right power of art, music, rock ‘n’ roll, in dangerous moments,” he said. “In my house, America I love, America I wrote that has been a headlight of hope and freedom for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and betrayal administration.”

The crowd responded with cheers, and Mr. Springsteen then offered a litany of grievances on the administration, accusing him of “taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers”.

“They bring back the historical legislation of civil rights which led to a fairer and plural society,” he said. “They abandon our great allies and have manifested themselves with dictators against those who fight for their freedom. They finance American universities which will not bow to their ideological requests. They remove residents from American streets and, without regular procedure, deport them to foreign detention centers and prisons. All this happens now. “
