Manchester, UK - May 14, 2025
Bruce Springsteen said to 20,000 fans that a corrupt and treacherous government was in power in the US. He called Trump an "incompetent president" of a "rogue government."
Afterwards, President Trump then called Springsteen a "totally overrated" musician. "[Springsteen should] keep his mouth shut until he's back in the country. Then we'll all see how he fares," Trump posted.
In response, Neil Young writes in a post on Neil Young Archives| Times-Contrarian:
"Thank you, Bruce.As a dual Canadian-American citizen, I join the vast majority in thanking you for speaking so eloquently and truthfully on behalf of the American people,We are with you, my old friend."
Neil Young has actively been protesting the Trump Administratio and "Fighting Oligarchy" in advance of his tour of Europe and North America this summer.

No one likes a bully. Kudos to both for using their freedom of speech to speak their opinions!
Trump has brought corruption to a whole new level in the US. Oligarchy, slashing everyone else to give billionaires a huge tax cut?! The “gift” of the jumbo flying ego palace is not free at all. It would cost a fortune to debug / inspect it.
Emoluments make this a big problem for Trump. He could be impeached just for this, if politicians get tired of playing his game. But the court of public opinion & people in the streets, people out in peaceful, legal protest, as guaranteed is our right in the constitution.
Trump has done massive damage to world finances, US retirement funds, education & social services. These social services are what make “America Great” -not chain sawing thru crucial programs for real people! Trump will have people out on the street by the 10s of thousands more pretty soon. He has crashed the world economy to some extent. The US debt rating is no long AAA, as of 2 days ago. We are now suffering for “bad credit” as a nation, that is, not as great as before!
And so the people in the streets is how we will turn the tide. People are going to protest more each week. This parade is not going to go well. Trump is a madman, a wannabe dictator. We just hope that when he tells the troops to fire on peaceful protesters, that they follow their oaths to uphold the constitution above all else, not to follow bad orders from “Evil” politicians.
If you thought Kent State was bad, you are right! Somehow I sense we are about to see something possibly worse. Trump loves the power of brutal dictators and he will tell them to fire on peaceful citizens doing their civic duty.
He has waged war against diversity and global warming science like he is hell bent on destruction. But not just his, unfortunately. He will take us all with him into a time of superstorms & heat. Children of the fires & floods. Trump is bringing coal back with reckless abandon.
Obviously he is a dangerous prick. Mother Nature has been pushed too far by burning fossil fuels. There is a monster coming in the weather. 1000 year storms rolling around all over. This is all predicted by the very science our bone headed king is erasing. That & “DEI” (code for racism encouraged & legal) . The humorless king who can’t get his way. Always the victim.
The weather report ain’t what it used to be. Massive cuts do that. Air traffic safety has gotten worse. The fallout has only begun. Massive numbers of condo owners in Florida now see they got sold a bag of s*%t & can’t afford to stay. As dues raise, because insurance companies know what we all know: Global Warming is already here & it is burning up places in ways history has never seen.
In review, warm air holds more moisture. So, when a storm happens, there are enormous amounts of water released compared to history.
I say, Duh! Go Green! We need it. It shall be done! We should get those good green jobs coming. Instead China is beating US in the green tech & green revolution business opportunities. The world is going green. It must be done to save Earth for future generations! There will be much difficulty ahead. Water levels are rising fast. If karma exists, this could be a tough hurricane season. Trump and his idiot klan need to see more. Here it comes.
Of course, the sane thing to to is to bring back all of the green energy possibilities, green construction. The US is missing out on the investment in Green business. We must invest in Education, because it pays! We must invest in feeding the people, housing the people. Act like a Christian nation for a moment, can we? We should feed the hungry & help people who need shelter & help. Let’s have some decency. Most of us are a lot closer to being homeless than we may foresee. One large medical bill is what puts most people in bankruptcy. We must provide health care for all. It is the only civilized thing to do. The US is the only western country that does not provide health care for its citizens.
We must invest in resources such as weather, fisheries management, NOAA and numerous other crucial areas DT has attacked.
The peeps are bloody tired of his disastrous reign of error. The tariffs have been quite bad for our world standing. US Treasury bonds will begin to get dumped more so. From a trickle to a torrent. Good luck! The government doesn’t give a crap about US. Democracy will prevail. We shall overcome fascism together. Best stand up & join the struggle. I promise it will make you happy to participate!
