Bruce Springsteen calls Donald Trump a 'moron'

Source: The Guardian UK

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has described Donald Trump as a “moron” and “tragic” in an election campaign he has chosen largely to stay out of, until now.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, the singer said: “The republic is under siege by a moron, basically. Without overstating it, it’s a tragedy for our democracy.”

Springsteen also accused Trump of offering “simple answers to very complex problems”.

“The ideas he’s moving to the mainstream are all very dangerous ideas – white nationalism and the alt-right movement.”

Springsteen said he liked Hillary Clinton and thought she would be a “very, very good president”.

Speaking in a separate interview with a talk-show in Norway and Sweden he described the Republican presidential candidate as an embarrassment to the United States.

as well upon hearing Bruce call him a moron. Cripsy Creme must be crying in his beer, or at least on his beer belly, now that Springstein has dissed his pal. Too bad for the Outlaw Jersey Whale!

that he can't stand. Though he seems to be taking himself down, so best not to give him any oxygen.
