Springsteen Slams Trump from Manchester Stage: Global Feud Reignites MAGA Culture War

Bruce Springsteen took his global tour political—and the world noticed. During his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour kickoff in Manchester, England, The Boss launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump, branding the former president “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.” The moment, captured on video and shared by conservative outlet OutKick, quickly went viral, with MAGA supporters accusing Springsteen of hijacking the stage for political grandstanding. Trump fired back on social media, calling Springsteen “washed up” and saying, “I never liked him.” The clash reignites a familiar cultural fault line: celebrity activism vs. Trump loyalism. While critics argue fans came for music—not a lecture—others praise Springsteen for using his platform to speak truth to power. As his tour hits more global cities, the feud adds fire to an already polarized 2025. One thing’s clear: Springsteen’s voice still cuts deep—whether he’s belting rock anthems or burning political bridges.
