American music legend Bruce Springsteen lambasted U.S. President Donald Trump and his team during a concert in England on Wednesday night.
“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” Springsteen fumed on stage in Manchester during the opening night of a European tour with his E Street Band.
“There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous shit going on out there right now,” Springsteen said later in the show, according to a local media report, appearing to reference billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk’s drastic government spending cuts. “In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent … the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now.”
