Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has remained outspoken about America’s baby man felon president. At his second Manchester show on Friday night Bruce called the convicted felon an “unfit President”, dedicated ‘Rainmaker’ to “our dear leader” and introduced ‘Long Walk Home’ as “a prayer for my country”.
Bruce tore into trump at the first Manchester show saying “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”
Bruce Springsteen won't be silenced. He was back at it again tonight in Manchester.

Babyman trump went into a childish meltdown over The Boss’s comments calling him a “dried out prune” but then for no reason at all started on Taylor Swift saying she “no longer HOT”.
