The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen.

Not on Iran. Not on the tariffs crashing global markets. Not on the recession warnings. Bruce Springsteen.

There is a standard psychological tool called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It has 20 items scored on a scale from 0 to 40. The cutoff for a diagnosis of psychopathy is 30.  The average person scores around 4. The average maximum security prisoner scores 22.  A panel of eminent psychiatrists assessed Trump before his 2024 sentencing in New York. He scored 36 out of 40. 

The 25th Amendment exists precisely for this. Section 4 allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to carry out his duties.  It has never been used. In any normally functioning democracy, the bar would be far lower. Most leaders in that position resign themselves.

Instead, this one is on Truth Social at 7:58 AM calling a rock legend a dried-up prune.

America is fighting a war it cannot exit in Iran. Markets are in freefall. Allies are making alternative plans.
And the man with the nuclear codes is writing concert reviews.

Historians may remember the performance as one of the most unflinching acts of musical and theatrical resistance mounted against Trump—or any President, for that matter—in the nation’s history https://t.co/7Mlt14MvUG

Bruce Springsteen opened tour blasting the Trump administration for incompetence, corruption, and racism, and asking the audience to choose “resistance over complacency… and peace over…”

Then blasted into “War,” straight into “Born in the U.S.A.”

Bruce Springsteen performed "Streets of Minneapolis," a song he wrote in response to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge, during a "No Kings" rally in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Organizers of the rally believe it is the largest in the state's history, estimating over 200,000 attendees.

[Springsteen Lyrics @BruceLyricsNL]

The criminal clown has stolen the throne
He steals what he can never own
May the truth ring out from every small town bar
We'll light up the house of a thousand guitars

Bruce Springsteen reunited with the E Street Band for their first full live performance together in seven years at Tramps, a small nightclub in New York City (capacity ~1,000).
The surprise show (billed simply as “Bruce Springsteen & Friends) lasted over three hours and included 28 songs, with the core E Street lineup of Clarence Clemons, Nils Lofgren, Garry Tallent, Roy Bittan, Max Weinberg, and Danny Federici joining Springsteen on stage.

Some have asked me to comment on the SCOTUS ruling striking down tariffs based on emergencies declared by the Executive. Why should I comment when Gorsuch has already nailed it right here? 💯
