Bruce springsteen lets rip at trump after being called a 'dried out old prune'

ROCK LEGEND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HAS MADE HIS FEELINGS ON PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP VERY CLEAR ON STAGE AT A RECENT CONCERT AFTER BEING CALLED ‘HIGHLY OVERRATED’ AND A ‘DRIED OUT PRUNE'

JESSICA CLARKE Digital Reporter 11:55, 20 May 2025Updated 13:21, 20 May 2025 American rock star Bruce Springsteen has taken another swipe at President Donald Trump after he called the singer

a 'dried out old prune'. The 75 year old didn’t hold back as he publicly called Donald Trump an ‘unfit president’ during his show in Manchester. The rock legend claimed that the

American president runs a ‘rouge government’ which is ‘corroupt, incompetent and treasonous’. Trump quickly responded on the social media platform Truth Social where he labelled Springsteen

‘highly overrated’ and a ‘dried out prune of a rocker’. President Donald Trump said, “I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the

President of the United States. 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, who fervently

supported Crooked Joe Biden ”. He went on to say the singer is ‘dumb as rock’ before Springsteen reinforced his opinion at another show. After hearing the president's comments, Bruce,

who is also known as The Boss, said, “In my home, they're persecuting people for their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. That's happening now. In America, the richest

men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death.” He continued: “That's happening now. In my country, they're taking sadistic

pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers”. Shortly after Springsteen shared his opinions on stage, he was shown support by the American Federation of Musicians, who have

also stood behind Taylor Swift. The labour union group said both Taylor and Bruce were ‘singled out’ by Trump after the president previously stated he ‘hates’ Taylor Swift. The group said,

“The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada will not remain silent as two of our members − Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift − are singled out and personally

attacked by the President of the United States. Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not just brilliant musicians, they are role models and inspirations to millions of people in the United

States and across the world. Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all our members.” While this is the first time Springsteen has expressed his

strong opinions of Trump on stage, he has been publicly critical of his policies in the past. The singer was seen previously in a YouTube video declaring his political stance and revealed he

was voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for the 2024 presidential election. He said, "Donald Trump doesn't understand what it means to be deeply American. On the other hand,

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone. That's the vision of America I've been consistently writing about."
