Legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen kicked off his long-awaited “Land of Hope & Dreams” tour in Manchester, England with more than just music — he delivered a message that quickly shook political and cultural headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.
During a high-energy performance in front of a sold-out British crowd, Springsteen paused between songs to issue a powerful political statement, openly criticizing the current U.S. administration. His comments, captured on video by fans, quickly went viral across social media platforms — and triggered a fiery response from former President Donald Trump.
“CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT, AND TREASONOUS”
In a moment that blended artistry with activism, Springsteen didn’t mince words. He referred to Trump’s presidency as “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous”, earning both roaring cheers from the audience and sharp backlash online.
Springsteen’s remarks came during the debut leg of his latest global tour, which had already garnered massive attention for its setlist, staging, and all-star guest appearances. But it was his political candor that captured global headlines.
TRUMP FIRES BACK — FEDERATION RESPONDS
Within hours, Donald Trump responded via social media, calling Springsteen “overrated” and “a pushy, obnoxious jerk.” He also reignited past criticism of Springsteen’s support for President Joe Biden, continuing a long-standing feud between the two public figures.
Trump didn’t stop there. He took aim at Taylor Swift—another vocal artist and Biden supporter—
saying:
“Since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT.’”
This prompted a rare but firm response from the American Federation of Musicians, the largest union of professional musicians in the U.S.

In a public statement, AFM President Tino Gagliardi defended both Springsteen and Swift:
“We will not stay silent as two of our members are attacked by a former President. Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not only world-class artists — they are global role models and proud members of our community.
