Bruce Springsteen talking about many things in his new Journal Cover history: fame, family, therapy, tournament with E Street Band and the 50th anniversary of his epoch “Born to run” album -actually the question is shown almost exactly 50 years after his first cover (and at the same time Newsweek One), which announced him as Rock’s Bright New Hope.
But the most attentive quotes are his rather fearless statements about president Donald Trumpas he originally shook away from criticizing directly (in a 2017 Amount interview) but have increasingly thrown, the beginning below his 2018 Broadway Residency.
Since Trump’s re -election last year he and the boss have traded carbohydrates, with Springsteen calls its administration “Corrupt, incompetent and treason” and Trump says The musician is “stupid like a rock”, and posts a video that mocks him and baseless requires an investigation into his and other artists’ support for Trump’s election opponents 2024 Kamala Harris.
Springsteen shoots back in the new interview, with possibly his strongest statements yet.
“If I will remain believing in who I have tried to be … I can’t give these guys a free pass,” he says, addressing Trump and his enables in the government. “Many people bought his lies. He doesn’t care about the forgotten – anyone other than himself and the multibillionaries behind him on the opening day.” But he adds, “You have to face the fact that a large number of Americans are simply comfortable with his power politics and dominance.”
When it comes to Trump’s insults to him, he says, “I absolutely couldn’t care less about what he thinks about me … He is the living personification of what the 25th amendment and impeachment was for. If Congress had any guts, he would be sent to the junk of history.”
He also does not spare the Democratic Party, which has been spectacularly ineffective in front of Trump and the Republican’s power. “We are desperately in need of an effective alternative party or for the Democratic Party to find someone who can talk to the majority of the nation,” he says. “There is a problem with the language they use and how they try to reach people.”
