Conservatives Are Losing It After Bruce Springsteen Says Trump Is ‘Deeply Damaged’ And ‘Dangerous’
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen says the United States is definitely not in its glory days with Donald Trump in the White House, and conservatives aren’t very happy.
Springsteen, in an Esquire interview posted Tuesday, called the president “dangerous” and said his divisive politics were a “crime.”
Trump “has no interest in uniting the country, really, and actually has an interest in doing the opposite and dividing us, which he does on an almost daily basis,” the “Born to Run” singer told the magazine. “So that’s simply a crime against humanity, as far as I’m concerned.”
In discussing his 1980 song “The Ties That Bind,” the 69-year-old multiple Grammy winner said the bonds of family and community can’t be broken ― and that applies to Trump.

“He has forsaken a lot of these things, and it’s affected him,” Springsteen said. “He’s deeply damaged at his core. … Anyone in that position who doesn’t deeply feel those ties that bind is a dangerous man, and it’s very pitiful.”
Springsteen has been highly critical of the Trump administration’s border policies, calling them “disgracefully inhumane” and “un-American” at a concert in June.
“I do believe we’ll survive Trump,” he said. “But I don’t know if I see a unifying figure on the horizon. That worries me.”
Conservatives soon lashed out at The Boss:
Why is it that it is all the over the hill has-beens screaming about Trump? I didn't see a single one of them screaming when Obama was using tear gas twice a week at the border during his terms…

???? I remember when I used to like him, now I can't even listen to his music. His crime to humanity is those high priced Broadway tickets that his fans that put him there need a loan to afford to buy them.

Over the hill Bruce Springsteen can’t stick to what he is good at because he’s no longer good at singing, guitar playing, or putting on a real show. How many illegals will Brice take into his huge, guarded mansion???

Give the immigrants your address, BOSS, I’m sure you’ve got the money and property to house a few hundred of them, at least.
