Fresh Take: The Boss's Berlin Blast at Trump's LA Military Deployment
Boss Trump confronted in Berlin by musician Bruce Springsteen.
In the heart of Berlin, the iconic Bruce Springsteen took a political jab at the U.S. military deployment in Los Angeles during a scorching concert at the Olympic Stadium. Over 70,000 fans cheered as he slammed Donald Trump's controversial tactics, referring to the deployment as a baseless response to an "alien invasion."
Springsteen's fiery remarks came amidst ongoing protests against the Trump Administration's hardline immigration policies in LA. The U.S. government, despite being met with opposition from California's governor, has dispatched 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 700 regular marine infantry to LA for the operation.
Throughout the concert, Springsteen, a renowned advocate of democracy and freedom, weaved these themes into his performances and chats with the audience. Delving into the nation's current climate, he denounced the U.S. government as "corrupt, incompetent, and lying." Yet, despite his harsh words, he still expressed love for the American spirit, expressing faith that the country would weather this storm.
Springsteen's longstanding opposition to Trump hasn't gone unnoticed. During the 2020 presidential election, he backed Joe Biden’s campaign and even performed at his inauguration. Trump hit back with disdain on his platform Truth Social, labelling Springsteen as "overrated" and "untalented."
