Bruce Springsteen was hit by one of Donald Trump’s outbursts recently ― but maybe the Boss is tougher than the rest.
“I absolutely couldn’t care less what he thinks about me,” the rock legend told Time magazine in a story published Thursday. “He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.”

The 20-time Grammy winner sounds like he’ll keep dishing it out to Trump and Co.
“If I’m going to stay true to who I’ve tried to be… I can’t give these guys a free pass,” Springsteen told Time. “A lot of people bought into his lies.… He doesn’t care about the forgotten anybody but himself and the multibillionaires who stood behind him on Inauguration Day.”
“You have to face the fact that a good number of Americans are simply comfortable with his politics of power and dominance,” Springsteen concluded.

On the first date of his European tour in May, Springsteen said America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.” He also asked democracy lovers to “raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”
Trump wrote back on Truth Social that Springsteen was “HIGHLY OVERRATED,” “dumb as a rock” and “a JERK” whose skin had “atrophied.” He also told the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer to “KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.”

Despite his fervent opposition to Trump over the years, the “Born to Run” legend didn’t sing the praises of the Democratic Party in his Time interview, either.

“We’re desperately in need of an effective alternative party, or for the Democratic Party to find someone who can speak to the majority of the nation,” he said. “There is a problem with the language that they’re using and the way they’re trying to reach people.”
