Donald Trump, the former reality show star, craves the adulation of rock stars, but most of the entertainers who support him are aging, washed-up pop stars like Kid Rock, Black Nazis like Kanye West, calcified country crooners like Billy Ray Cyrus and notorious misogynists and accused child molesters like Ted Nugent.

Bruce Springsteen is an icon, a legend and still a superstar at 75 years-old, and he will never disgrace himself by praising the steaming pile of human excrement known as Donald Trump.

To the contrary, the Boss called the Trump administration corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous. On his tour opening show in Manchester, U.K. he urged his audience to fight against Trump’s fascism:

“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American spirit to rise with us, raise your voices and stand with us against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.”

Trump responded to Springsteen’s withering attack by calling him a “dried out old prune.” The rock legend is four years younger than Trump, is in excellent physical and mental health and his concerts typically run for about three hours. That doesn’t seem like a dried out old prune to me.

Trump on the other hand, looks like a decaying Jack-o’-lantern pumpkin that’s been tossed on the side of the road.

Trump would be well-advised to bask in the attention of losers like West and Nugent, and not to tangle with winners like Bruce Springsteen.
