Bruce Springsteen’s recent concerts have turned into political rallies. The 75-year-old rocker used his stage in Manchester, England, to trash former President Trump, calling his administration “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.” He accused Trump of defunding universities, rolling back civil rights, and cozying up to dictators. These aren’t just lyrics anymore—they’re full-blown leftist sermons aimed at his fans.
Trump fired back on Truth Social, ripping Springsteen as an “obnoxious jerk” and a “dried-out prune of a rocker.” The former president warned: “We’ll see how it goes for him” when he returns to America. But Springsteen didn’t back down. During his next show, he repeated the same anti-Trump speech, doubling down on his harsh words.
Springsteen claims he’s fighting for “democracy” and “free speech,” but his message sounds like a rehearsed DNC talking point. He’s urging fans to “raise their voices against authoritarianism” and support “political change” in America. This isn’t rock ’n’ roll—it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant by pandering to far-left voters.
The audience-cheered speeches included attacks on “persecuting people for free speech” and “rich men abandoning poor children.” These vague, inflammatory lines match the rhetoric of pro-Biden celebrities who lecture ordinary Americans about their “moral duty.” Springsteen even compared his concerts to a “call to action,” treating his stage like a political pulpit.
Long a Democrat ally, Springsteen has campaigned for Obama, Biden, and Kamala Harris. Now he’s using his music to push their agenda again. This isn’t art—it’s activism with a guitar. His fans came for hits like “Born in the USA,” but instead got a lecture on why Trump supporters are supposedly “dangerous.”
Some conservatives warn that Springsteen’s actions could backfire. Alienating half his audience with partisan rants isn’t a wise business move. He risks becoming another washed-up celebrity who thinks eagerness to trash Trump outweighs entertaining the crowd. His career might survive—but his legacy as a unifying artist? Not so much.
This trend of entertainers playing politician grows worse. From Hollywood stars to aging musicians, they’d rather push leftist agendas than entertain. Springsteen thinks he’s leading a “resistance,” but he’s really just dividing fans into red and blue. Americans deserve better than political theater disguised as rock concerts.
The real resistance—hardworking Americans who resent celebrity lectures—will remember Springsteen’s choice. Staying silent isn’t an option for those who value free speech. The Boss might still sell out venues, but he’s lost something far more valuable: respect as a neutral voice.
