Bruce Springsteen has hit out at Donald Trump again describing the US President’s administration as an “American tragedy”.
Last week, he criticised Trump’s “disgusting” immigration policies following the ICE immigration raids that began in Los Angeles earlier this month.
It came after he called Trump’s administration “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous” at a recent show in Manchester – a move which led to the President describing him as a “dried out ‘prune’” who “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country.”
Now, in a new interview with The Sunday Times, The Boss has hit out at Trump’s immigration policies again.
“We’re living through a terrible moment in history, where Congress has neutered itself and the boundaries that once curtailed this type of leadership have disintegrated,” he said.
Springsteen added: “The pure incompetence of [the administration] may carry the seeds of its own destruction. But I don’t know what’s going to happen. I haven’t lived through a time like this in my entire life and I’m 75 years-old.”
On the subject of the immigration raids, he went on to say “it’s been disgusting and dehumanising for so many folks who live here in the country.”
Since his comments in Manchester, The Boss has been backed by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, Neil Young and Bono for his on-stage comments.
Earlier this week, the first trailer for his highly anticipated biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere was shared, giving fans a first look at The Bear star Jeremy Allen White as the legendary musician. The film is scheduled for worldwide release on October 24.
Springsteen also recently said that the film contained moments from his life that were so “painful” he couldn’t be on set.
The singer-songwriter is set to release seven never-heard-before records next Friday (June 27) as part of a new compilation, titled ‘Tracks II: The Lost Albums’. It’ll contain 83 songs that were written across his expansive career.
He also recently confirmed the existence of an electric version of his 1982 album ‘Nebraska’.

A London concert recorded in 1994 by The Cranberries, which was previously thought to be lost, will soon receive its first official release.
Titled ‘The Cranberries: Live At The London Astoria II, 1994’, the recently discovered recording captures the group performing at the now closed London venue. The concert included nine tracks from their celebrated album ‘No Need To Argue’, which arrived later in 1994 and included the hugely successful single ‘Zombie’.
The release contains 15 intimate live recordings in total. Several songs from the band’s 1993 debut album ‘Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?’ also appear on the collection, such as ‘Pretty’, ‘Linger’ and ‘Dreams’.
Fans will be able to purchase the recording as a 2xLP Limited Edition Molten Lava Vinyl, standard black vinyl or CD. It will also arrive on digital platforms on September 4 through Island/UMe. Preorders and presaves are available here.
Drummer Fergal Lawler recalled the excitement surrounding the performance, saying: “It was such a buzz playing in The Astoria. We had returned from the US and taken a bit of time off for Christmas. This was our first concert back in London after achieving such success in America. We were delighted to see a few of our hardcore fans at the front of the stage, I think we felt proud that all our hard work had finally come to fruition.”
Singer Dolores O’Riordan died at a London hotel in 2018. An inquest later found that she had accidentally drowned in a bath after becoming intoxicated by alcohol.
The group’s popular song ‘Linger’ was also recently heard in the Apple TV adaptation of Cape Fear.
Javier Bardem plays Max Cady in the newest interpretation of the famous psychological thriller, which originated with John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners.
Cady is a violent former prisoner who remains completely unrepentant. Following his release, he begins pursuing Tom and Anna Bowden, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Amy Adams, seeking revenge against the couple who represented him in court 17 years earlier.
Cape Fear has previously inspired two widely praised movies. J. Lee Thompson directed the 1962 adaptation starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, while Martin Scorsese directed the 1991 version featuring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte.
