Anti-Trump Rant Goes Viral as Rocker Takes His Politics Overseas
Liberal music icon Bruce Springsteen has reignited his long-standing feud with President Donald Trump—this time, from across the Atlantic.
On Wednesday, Springsteen released a set of politically charged live recordings from his concert in Manchester, England, where he launched into multiple anti-Trump tirades. The timing wasn’t lost on critics: while Americans face real issues at home, the aging rocker took the stage abroad to denounce the sitting president in front of a foreign crowd.
Springsteen Attacks American Leadership from the UK Stage
“The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of music in dangerous times,” Springsteen declared. He went on to slam President Trump’s administration as “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous,” calling on fans to “raise your voices against authoritarianism.”
He also accused elected officials of “failing to protect Americans” and falsely claimed historic civil rights legislation is being “rolled back,” while alleging the government is “removing residents off American streets”—comments critics say are baseless and inflammatory.
President Trump Fires Back: “Overrated, Radical, and Obnoxious”
Springsteen’s comments caught the attention of President Trump, who posted a swift and scathing response on Truth Social, saying:
“So-called rock star Bruce Springsteen heads overseas just to insult the President of the United States. I’ve never been a fan—his music, his far-left views, or his attitude. He’s not talented, just loud and arrogant—a typical radical who backed Joe Biden, the most incompetent and disastrous president our country has ever seen.”
The President also shared a humorous, edited video showing himself hitting a golf ball that appears to strike down Springsteen—further fueling the viral moment online.
Critics: “Disrespectful to America—And Embarrassing”
Springsteen’s decision to attack the President of the United States while overseas struck a nerve with many Americans. For patriotic voters and supporters of traditional values, it’s another reminder of how out-of-touch Hollywood elites have become.
“What kind of American goes abroad just to trash his own country’s president?” one social media user asked. “Springsteen should be ashamed.”
Final Thoughts
Springsteen has made a career out of virtue signaling to the radical left, but many older Americans are fed up with celebrities using their platforms to divide the country instead of uniting it. President Trump’s defenders say the former rock star’s latest rant proves one thing: the left will stop at nothing to attack the America First movement—even if it means bashing their own country on foreign soil.
