The political battle between Democrat rocker Bruce Springsteen and President Donald Trump carried on right into a second week, with the Boss ranting towards Trump all through his third straight present in Manchester, England, Tuesday night time and releasing his anti-Trump speeches on-line, whereas Trump posted a trolling video of him knocking Springsteen over with a golf ball Wednesday morning.
Trump’s post of the Springsteen video is a play on a basic meme of him hitting a tee shot and the ball knocking Hillary Clinton, and later Joe Biden, down. This one makes use of an actual video of Springsteen tripping and falling on stage throughout a concert in Amsterdam in 2023. The video was created by “resistthedonkey.”

Beforehand, Trump hit again at Springsteen for trashing him in his live performance speeches in a put up on Reality Social and a second put up calling for an investigation into whether or not Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris violated marketing campaign finance guidelines by paying for endorsements by Springsteen and different celebrities final yr.
In a single day, Springsteen launched a four-song EP on streaming services worldwide containing his anti-Trump speeches from his opening night time live performance with the E Avenue Band final week on the Co-Op Reside enviornment in Manchester.
Introduction to Land of Hope and Goals
Good Night!
It’s nice to be in Manchester and again within the U.Ok. Welcome to the Land of Hope & Goals Tour! The mighty E Avenue Band is right here tonight to name upon the righteous energy of artwork, of music, of rock ‘n’ roll in harmful occasions.
In my dwelling, the America I like, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is at the moment within the fingers of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.
Tonight, we ask all who imagine in democracy and the very best of our American experiment to rise with us, elevate your voices towards authoritarianism and let freedom ring!
It seems Springsteen, who has carried out for each Democratic presidential nominee since John Kerry in 2004 together with the the Harris marketing campaign final fall, goes to spend the following two months on his European tour campaigning abroad towards President Trump, working to undermine the Make America Nice Once more agenda that 77 million Individuals voted for final November after they elected Trump president and gave Republicans management of the Home and Senate.
Can have much more to say about tonight’s @springsteen present. For now, I depart you with the one phrase to explain The Boss’s Manchester efficiency: DEFIANT. pic.twitter.com/SocY3HTFFu

Jennifer Palmieri, a senior Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton operative, posted final Saturday that she was in attendance for Springsteen’s second present in Manchester, lending the looks that Springsteen is coordinating along with his good good friend Obama and the Democratic Social gathering to sabotage President Trump’s efforts to carry peace to Europe and the Center East, rebalance commerce agreements, safe America’s borders, reform authorities and convey good paying jobs to the blue collar staff Springsteen claims to sing for.
Trump’s earlier Reality Social posts on Springsteen:
I see that Extremely Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Overseas Nation to talk badly concerning the President of the USA. By no means preferred him, by no means preferred his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a gifted man — Only a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who got here near destroying our Nation. If I wasn’t elected, it could have been GONE by now! Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, however Springsteen is “dumb as a rock,” and couldn’t see what was occurring, or may he (which is even worse!)? This dried out “prune” of a rocker (his pores and skin is all atrophied!) must KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT till he will get again into the Nation, that’s simply “normal fare.” Then we’ll all see the way it goes for him!
HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I’m going to name for a significant investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, underneath the guise of paying for leisure. As well as, this was a really costly and determined effort to artificially construct up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic “entertainers,” this was only a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL strategy to capitalize on a damaged system. Thanks to your consideration to this matter!!!
Springsteen’s other speeches given throughout every of his three reveals in Manchester:
Introduction to Home of a Thousand Guitars
The final verify, the final verify on energy after the checks and balances of presidency have failed are the folks, you and me. It’s within the union of individuals round a typical set of values now that’s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. On the finish of the day, all we’ve acquired is one another.
Introduction to My Metropolis of Ruins
There’s some very bizarre, unusual and harmful shit occurring on the market proper now. In America, they’re persecuting folks for utilizing their proper to free speech and voicing their dissent. That is taking place now.
In America, the richest males are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest kids to illness and demise. That is taking place now.
In my nation, they’re taking sadistic pleasure within the ache they inflict on loyal American staff.
They’re rolling again historic civil rights laws that has led to a extra simply and plural society.
They’re abandoning our nice allies and siding with dictators towards these struggling for his or her freedom. They’re defunding American universities that received’t bow right down to their ideological calls for.
They’re eradicating residents off American streets and, with out due technique of legislation, are deporting them to international detention facilities and prisons. That is all taking place now.
A majority of our elected representatives have failed to guard the American folks from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue authorities. They don’t have any concern or concept for what it means to be deeply American.
The America l’ve sung to you about for 50 years is actual and no matter its faults is a superb nation with an important folks. So we’ll survive this second. Now, I’ve hope, as a result of I imagine within the reality of what the nice American author James Baldwin mentioned. He mentioned, “On this world, there isn’t as a lot humanity as one would love, however there’s sufficient.” Let’s pray.
Springsteen is scheduled to tour Europe now via July third with reveals (so as) in France, England, Germany, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Germany and ending with reveals in Italy–with the finale happening on July third.
No U.S. reveals have been introduced, however with Springsteen having gone abroad to declare conflict on President Trump and his MAGA supporters, it could be cowardly of him to not play U.S. reveals this summer season or fall.
