BREAKING: Donald Trump has an apocalyptic meltdown and attacks music legend Bruce Springsteen as a "dried out 'prune' of a rocker" after he starts his tour with a brutal takedown of the MAGA leader as "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous."
Nothing gets under Donald's skin faster than a beloved celebrity attacking him...
"I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country," he went on.
"If I wasn’t elected, it would have been GONE by now! Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is 'dumb as a rock,' and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)?" Trump continued.
"This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just 'standard fare.' Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!" he concluded.
Trump's pathetic claim that Springsteen is "not talented" is laughable given his singular critical and commercial success. To date, he's sold over 140 million records worldwide, which makes him the 27th best-selling musical artist of all time.
Trump's outburst was prompted by Springsteen starting his new "Land of Hopes & Dreams" tour across Europe with some choice words in Manchester, England.
"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," the singer told the crowd.
"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!" he continued.
Later in the show, Springsteen expanded on his thoughts—
"The last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me," he said. "It’s in the union of people around a common set of values now that’s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. At the end of the day, all we’ve got is each other."
"There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous sh*t 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," said Springsteen.
"In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death," he continued.
"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 has led to a more just and plural society," Springsteen went on.
"They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom," he said. "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 centers 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," he continued. "They have no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American."
"The America l’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real, and, regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people," he said. "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."
Of course, it should come as no surprise that Springsteen despises Donald Trump. His music is about the exploited working men and women of America and Trump makes those people's lives worse every day.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivers a bold rallying cry to the judiciary and tells judges to stand tall as Donald Trump's fascist attacks on the courts escalate.
This is exactly the kind of leadership America needs right now...
"Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves. And our job is to be the champion of lost causes," Sotomayor said during an event for the American Bar Association.
"But right now, we can’t lose the battles we are facing. And we need trained and passionate and committed lawyers to fight this fight," she added.
While she didn't mention Trump by name, it's clear what she was referring to. The president has been abusing his powers of office to wage out all out legal war on his political enemies, smearing judges, and extracting massive bro bono services from top law firms.
Not only that, but Trump continues to defy a ruling from the Supreme Court ordering him to return innocent Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.
The simple, undeniable truth is that Donald Trump does not believe in the rule. He sees the separation of powers as a barrier to accumulating more power for himself and he is determined to tear it down.

BREAKING: Federal court rules that U.S. officials can use felony "obstruction of an official proceeding" charges to prosecute Jan. 6th insurrectionists which can bring a sentence of up to 20 years in prison instead of "trespassing" or "illegally demonstrating" which only carry a one year prison sentence at most.

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: For 20 years, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been breaking the law by accepting travel on private jets and visits to private resorts via superyacht from a Republican megadonor — and failed to report any of it on his financial disclosures, raising the obvious suggestion that he was being bribed to hand down Republican court rulings.

@airtransat hi there. My wife and I have a flight booked in two weeks time Toronto to Glasgow. A serious family issue means we will not be able to fly. The ticket says not refundable but can be rescheduled. My querie is 1. Is the not refundable rule cast in stone? 2
