Bruce Springsteen harshly criticized Donald Trump when he participated and performed at the 'No Kings' protest in Minnesota last week, according to official sources. Springsteen's criticism of the president continued when he later began his 'Land of Hope and Dreams' tour, which he said would be his 'most political ever', official sources reported. On Thursday, Donald Trump attacked the singer and wrote on Truth Social that Springsteen is a 'total loser' who 'spreads hate' against the president, according to official sources. Trump issued a Truth Social post days after Springsteen attacked Trump as 'reckless, racist and treasonous' at a concert in Minneapolis, multiple reports indicate.
Last week, the third round of the so-called 'No Kings' protests was arranged around the USA, official sources said. The protests aim to show dissatisfaction with the politics pursued by President Trump and his administration, according to official sources. The protests are particularly critical of Trump's exercise of power, the war in Iran, and raids against migrants, official sources reported. According to the organizers, more than eight million people participated in the protests at over 3,300 'No Kings' events across the USA and over a dozen other countries. The 'No Kings' demonstration was held in protest of ICE, the Iran war, and Trump's 'desire to rule over us as a tyrant', according to organizers. This time, a spokesperson for the White House came out and called the protests 'Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions' and said that the only ones who care 'are the reporters who get paid to cover them', a White House spokesperson confirmed.
The USA I have written about for 50 years, which has been a guiding star for hope and freedom around the world, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, careless, and treacherous administration.

Springsteen responded to Reagan by playing 'Johnny 99,' a song about a laid-off worker who murders a night clerk, according to multiple reports. Many people mistakenly thought 'Born in the U.S.A.' (1984) was a jingoistic anthem, but it actually deals with critical subject matter, multiple reports indicate. Springsteen and the band performed a cover of Edwin Starr's 'War' to protest Republicans, as he has done since the Reagan era, multiple reports indicate.

In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.
Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!
The last check, the last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me. It’s in the union of people around a common set of values now that’s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. So at the end of the day, all we’ve got is each other.
There’s some very weird, strange and dangerous shit going on out there right now. In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now.
In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now.
In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers.
They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society.
They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.
They are defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands.
They are removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centres and prisons. This is all happening now.
A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American.
The America I’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real and regardless of its faults is a great country with a great people. So we’ll survive this moment.
Now, I have hope, because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said. He said, 'In this world, there isn’t as much humanity as one would like, but there’s enough.' Let’s pray.
Springsteen castigated Trump during his first presidential term, saying he was a 'threat to our democracy'.
