The Art of the Bait: How Bruce Springsteen Got to Donald Trump, and Why It Matters Bruce Springsteen clashes with Trump: Why The Boss broke through when other celebrities couldn't, and what it means for artists in 2025.

"Springsteen knew exactly what he was doing .... It was calculated to draw attention, and sure enough, Trump played right into it."

Column | Bruce Springsteen is fighting for the America he sings about On a new live recording from his Land of Hope and Dreams tour, Springsteen isn’t warning us about authoritarianism: “This is happening now.”

Another great Bruce column, this one from @chrisrichards.bsky.social in the Washington Post:

Donald Trump keeps proving that Bruce Springsteen lives rent free in his head.

This bizarre video is utterly unhinged.
