“[We] Will not be silent because two of our members – Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift – are awarded and personally attacked by the President of the United States, “says the AFM President Tino Gagliardi.

Gagliardi praised the singers for their “timeless” music with “deep cultural importance” and added: “Musicians have the right to freedom of freedom of expression, and we are in solidarity with all of our members.”

After the president has shared several contributions about Truth on Friday (May 16) and criticized the two musicians. “Has anyone noticed that since I said” I hate Taylor Swift “,” is she no longer hot? “

In his attacks on Springsteen, he explained that he “never liked” his music, and added that the boss was “stupid like a rock” and a “dried up 'Prune' of a Rocker”.

The President wrote: “I see that high -rated Bruce Springsteen goes to a foreign country in a foreign country to talk badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music or radical left politics and above all he is not a talented type – just an intrusive, unruly idiot.”

This was followed by Springsteen, in which he gave several speeches at the beginning of this week and criticized him at his show in Manchester, where he condemned the actions of the US president and the “corruption” and the “incompetence” of his government.

Springsteen has long been a convinced critic of Donald Trump. He publicly supported Kamala Harris in the presidential election in November and appeared at one of her rallies and previously described Trump as “mentally ill”.

He also opened a show for the United States after Donald Trump's victory shortly after the election.

Springsteen's show in Manchester was the first night of a British and European run that will last until July.
