Bruce Springsteen’s harsh criticism and Trump’s disobligating response
But what preceded that message were the strong criticism of the legendary Bruce Springsteen to the head of state. At the opening of the 2025 section of its ‘Land of Hope and Dreams’ tour in the Manchester co-op Live, Springsteen launched a frontal attack against the Republican leader.
“My home, the United States that I love, the United States on which I have written, which has been a lighthouse of hope and freedom for 250 years, It is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and traitorous administration“said New Jersey artist at the beginning of a long speech against Trump and his government.
Springsteen accused the current executive of restricting freedom of expression, of whipping the American working class, of expelling residents of the country “without due process”, of putting the side of dictators, of “abandoning the poorest children in the world” or of reversing “historical laws for civil rights.”

The singer, a well -known voter of the Democratic Party, has criticized Trump since he presented his candidacy for president for the first time in 2016. At that time he requested that in the New York campaign mitines he would stop sounding his theme ‘Born in the USA’, an issue that sounds apologetically to American culture, but that the artist has explained how the opposite: an ironic criticism of his excesses.
During Trump’s first mandate (2017-2021) “The boss” launched the song ‘That’s What Makes Us Great’, a song expressly addressed to the then president in which he referred to him as a “scammer.”
