Bruce Springsteen Calls Out Exactly How 'Moron' Trump Rose To Power

Bruce Springsteen isn’t letting up on his digs at PresidentDonald Trump and the administration he’s already ripped as “incompetent and treasonous.”

The Boss, who is in the midst of the European leg of his Land of Hope and Dreams tour with the E Street Band, told The New York Times that he wanted to use his shows’ set list to address the “current situation” in the United States.

-snip-.

He went on, “I 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.”

“And while I can’t believe it was this moron that came along, he fit the bill for some people. But what we’ve been living through in the last 70 days is things that we all said, ‘This can’t happen here.’ ‘This will never happen in America.’ And here we are.”
