Springsteen Was Criticized For Bashing Trump. His Response Is Perfect

Bruce Springsteen doubled down on his remarks against Trump this week, following controversial comments he made in his interview with Rolling Stone. The rock legend and American icon ripped into the Republican nominee, making it absolutely clear that Springsteen doesn’t care what Trump supporters think about his opinion on the candidate:

Some people seemed upset that I called @realDonaldTrump a moron, so I wanted to clarify my remarks: He’s also an asshole. #I’mWithHer

That's why they call him The Boss!

Anyone who doesn't know where Springsteen stands, hasn't been paying attention.

I think my wife and I saw R.E.M. alone at the Greek Theater in Berkeley in October of that year, but it was the same deal. Strong political vibe.

@Boss1949 has a description of “Not a famous rock star. And DEFINITELY not Bruce Springsteen. Nuh-uh. (Satire)“.

Sorry, great line anyway.

But it seems, as the comments at the link point out, that the author name is Bruce SPingsteen, not the real thing.

Still a great line.



Unless The Boss uses that handle for some reason.

And the people who are still where he came from. He is, as my people say, a mensch. Which is a word that no one will ever use in connection with Trump.

I know it sounds awesome and hopefully the Boss really is with her, but let's not be too gullible.
