Bruce Springsteen Condemns Trump and President's Administration

"We'll be throwing the bums out" . . .

by Karen Mizoguchi, People, 10/29/2020

Bruce Springsteen also recited a poem by Elayne Griffin Baker that best described his feelings about President Donald Trump

(snip)

"We used to be the country that did the Ice Bucket Challenge and raised millions for charity. We used to have a President that calmed and soothed the nation instead dividing it, and a First Lady who planted a garden instead of ripping one out," the poem says of Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump.

"We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We have lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness, our cheering on of others. The shared experience of humanity that makes it all worth it. The challenges and the triumphs that we shared and celebrated. The unique can-do spirit that America has always been known for. We are lost. We have lost so much in so short a time," the poem concludes.
