Springsteen: Trump Is A “Mentally Ill Insurrectionist”

The Hill reports:

Bruce Springsteen is sounding off on Donald Trump after the former president spent much of a recent campaign event listening to songs, with the “Born in the U.S.A.” singer saying that “swaying to music” is his job. “The whole thing of standing and swaying for 40 minutes at your town hall? I mean, swaying to music, that’s my job,” Springsteen said in an interview with The Telegraph, published Thursday.

“I think in the States, there’s an enormous anxiety, however, at losing the things that are dearest to us, the danger of losing democracy, rule of law, peaceful transfer of power. And this is a guy who is committed to none of these things. He’s an insurrectionist – not to mention mentally ill. You know, he led a coup on the United States government, so there’s no way he should be let anywhere near the office of the presidency.”
