\t\t\t\t\tBruce Springsteen Calls President Trump a \u2018Moron,\u2019 Says We Are Living Through an \u2018American\u00a0Tragedy\u2019\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tAt the American Film Institute Opening Night Gala on Wednesday (Oct. 22) \u2014 where Springsteen was in attendance to support new biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere <\/em>\u2014 The Boss performed his song \u201cLand of Hopes and Dreams.\u201d Before diving into the track, however, he called it a \u201cprayer for America, our community and no kings,\u201d according to USA Today<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOutside, all hell is breaking loose in the United States,\u201d Springsteen added at the event. \u201cFor 250 years around the world, despite all the faults that we\u2019ve had, the United States has served as a beacon of democracy and hope and freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite how \u201cterribly damaged\u201d he thinks the country is, though, Springsteen also noted that the nation\u2019s \u201cideals remain worth fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard <\/em>has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rock & Roll Hall of Famer\u2019s comments prove he\u2019s making good on his pledge<\/a> to keep calling out the faults he sees in the Trump administration. \u201cI\u2019m going to stay true to who I\u2019ve tried to be,\u201d he told TIME <\/em>in September. \u201cI can\u2019t give these guys a free pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThough countless musicians have voiced opposition to the twice-impeached POTUS\u2019 policies, Springsteen stands out as one that Trump has addressed directly \u2014 multiple times. After the songwriter slammed<\/a> the U.S. government\u2019s \u201ccorrupt, incompetent and treasonous\u201d leadership at a concert in May, the president called him \u201cdumb as a rock\u201d and a \u201cpushy, obnoxious JERK\u201d in a heated Truth Social post<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThat didn\u2019t stop Springsteen from calling Trump a \u201cmoron\u201d<\/a> in a June interview. \u201cIt\u2019s an American tragedy,\u201d he told The New York Times <\/em>at the time. \u201cI think that it was the combination of the deindustrialization of the country and then the incredible increase in wealth disparity that left so many people behind. It was ripe for a demagogue.\u201d<\/p>\n
