Bruce Springsteen Stands Up To Trump

Brian Teepell/USPA 24 News - BREAKING: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S ANTI-ICE ANTHEM REACHES #1 ON ITUNES CHARTS IN 19 COUNTRIES AFTER A REMARKABLE ONE-DAY.

In a testament to the power of music to inspire change, Bruce Springsteen's stirring new anthem "Streets of Minneapolis" catapulted to #1 on iTunes in 19 countries in under 24 hours, transforming a surprise release into a beacon of hope and unity that resonated with people around the world.

There was no official launch. No radio teaser. No industry approval. Just a sense of urgency, a song born from grief, anger, and refusal to turn a blind eye. As political loyalists tried to dismiss it, then discredit it, the numbers told a different story: listeners across Australia, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.S., and beyond all made the same decision to listen at the same time.

“I penned this song last Saturday, recorded it the next day, and released it three days later,” Springsteen said, explaining he couldn’t wait while Minneapolis was hurting and the names Alex Pretti and Renee Good were being argued over instead of being paid tribute.

The provocative new protest song denounced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and targeting the United States President ,Donald Trump ,and his administration’s immigration policies.

The Trump administration has released a statement addressing Bruce Springsteen's ICE protest song. "The Trump administration is focused on encouraging state and local Democrats to work with federal law enforcement officers on removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from their communities and not random songs with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information. The media should cover how Democrats have refused to work with the Administration, and instead, opted to provide sanctuary for these criminal illegals."

Bruce Springsteen responded by saying; "I couldn't care less what Trump thinks about me. He is the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history!"

Bruce Springsteen has made no secret of his openly stated opposition to Donald Trump's presidency and the Trump Administration's immigration policies.This testimony underscores the rock legend's deeply held political convictions and has reignited the discussion about the role of artists in using their platforms to express personal beliefs, while navigating the consequences of such actions, and turning a concert tour into a commentary on the country's direction Bruce Springsteen once again proves his commitment to upholding his principles above all else.
