(3,846 posts)1. From Malaise' link:
Springsteen made a series of vehement speeches on stage in Manchester as he kicked off his latest tour, arguing that Trump was an unfit president heading up a rogue government. He said that in the US, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the worlds poorest children to sickness and death
theyre taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers
They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.
Trump responded on his Truth Social platform, calling Springsteen highly overrated not a talented guy just a pushy, obnoxious JERK.

Never cool - always vulgar, low life and contemptuous of those with much more talent and decency.

(22,068 posts)14. He said his skin is all "atrophied"
proving that 1) he doesn't know what atrophied means and 2) He has zero self awareness if he is critiquing someone else's skin.
I wish Springsteen would reply with "why were you stealing my music until recently then", but I understand that he doesn't want to get into the mud with the pig, as the saying goes.
