“Bruce is going after Trump because Bruce, his whole life, he’s been about truth, justice, democracy, equality,” said Morello, who has often toured and played with Springsteen in the past.
"And Trump is mad at him because Bruce draws a bigger audience. F*** that guy!” Morello added.
Springsteen is a longtime Trump critic who endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. But last week, their feud was rekindled when the Born to Run singer called Trump an "unfit president" leading a "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration" during a concert in the UK.
Trump swiftly hit back on his social network Truth Social, calling him a "dried-out prune of a rocker" who is "not a talented guy,” before calling for a federal investigation into Springsteen's advocacy for Harris.
"BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!” Trump posted.
