Bruce Springsteen “respectfully” tore into President Trump on SiriusXM Wednesday, according to NJ.Com, which reported that the “Born in the USA” singer used his new “From My Home to Yours” radio show to send his message.
“I’m going to start out by sending one to the man sitting behind the resolute desk,” the 70-year-old singer said. “With all respect, sir, show some consideration and care for your countrymen and your country. Put on a f—ing mask.”
Springsteen blasted everyone in leadership who has been a part of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic that has taken nearly 120,000 American lives and continues to spread.
“Those lives deserved better than just being inconvenient statistics for our president’s reelection efforts,” he said. “It’s a national disgrace.”
He then reportedly played the Bob Dylan song “Disease of Conceit,” which he dedicated to Trump.
The president has famously resisted wearing a mask, despite his own health care officials insisting the pandemic would be better controlled if citizens kept their faces covered. When Trump visited a mask-making factory in Phoenix last month without covering his face, Guns n’ Roses rendition of Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die” played through the factory’s speaker system.
