Bruce Springsteen doubles in his position that the American government is “corrupt, incompetent and betrayal”, even after his remarks on the subject during a concert by Manchester, Furious President Donald Trump last week.
A week after criticizing the Trump administration during a speech during its broadcast of the European tour in England – leading the potus twice Land of hope and dreams EP with a recording of the address as a opening track. “In my house, America I love, America I have written on and has been a lighthouse of hope and freedom for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and betrayal administration,” he said in the audio extract. “Tonight, we ask all those who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to get up with us, to raise your voice against authoritarianism and to let freedom sound.”
The rocker then plunged into “Land of Hope & Dreams” in 2001, which is also the name of the current tour of Springsteen.
In addition to the politically busy discourse, the six -track project also presents musician sockets and her group performing “Long Walk Home”, “My City of Ruins” and “Chimes of Freedom” in Manchester. There is also a three and a half minute recording of Springsteen again criticizing the state of American policy later in the show.
“In my country, they have a sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on American workers, they make the historical legislation of civil rights go back to a fairer and moral society,” he said in the clip. “They abandon our great allies and rank on the side of dictators against those who fight for their freedom.”
The EP comes shortly after Trump responded to the remarks on stage of Springsteen by calling it “very surface” and “stupid as a rock rock”, adding at the time: “This prune has dried up to a rocker (its skin is all atrophied!) Should keep its mouth closed until it returns to the country, it is simply” the standard market “.
Later, the billionaire accused the singer “Born in the USA” – with Beyoncé, Oprah and Bono – of participating in an “illegal electoral scam” for Kamala Harris, alleging that he accepted an uncompromising payment of the 2024 Democrat nomine to put it in Dorse for the presidency. (Campaign funding records do not support this assertion, and Harris’ campaign denied having paid an artist for his support for last year’s elections.)
Trump had still not left the question from Wednesday, when he shared a video published by himself golf – and seeming to strike and knock on Springsteen with his ball – on social hours of truth after the Land of hope and dreams EP fell.
But despite Trump’s counters, Springsteen never fell back on his firm position against the president’s policies. The conductor E Street has long been expressed on his beliefs, telling The Atlantic In 2020, he believed that Trump – who in May 2024 was found guilty of 34 Crime Coating in a monetary trial – as a “threat to our democracy”.
Still in 2024, Springsteen proudly approved Harris and played a number of his campaign events. He also appeared in an advertisement for the former vice-president, saying to viewers: “This election concerns a group of people who fundamentally want to undermine our American way of life … Donald Trump does not understand this country, its history or what it means deeply American.”
