Overview

• In the Time cover story, Bruce Springsteen calls Trump “the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for” and says Congress should consign him “to the trash heap of history.”
• Springsteen dismisses Trump’s personal insults, telling the magazine he “absolutely couldn’t care less” what the president thinks of him.
• He extends his criticism to Democrats, saying the party needs a figure who can speak to a national majority and that its language and outreach are failing.
• The feud dates to his May tour opener in Manchester, where he labeled the administration “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,” prompting Trump to attack him on Truth Social and share an edited golf-ball video.
• The interview coincides with archival projects, including an October Nebraska ’82 expanded edition previewed by a new “Open All Night” performance clip and the feature film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere set for Oct. 24, as reporters have also debunked Trump’s earlier claims of an “illegal election scam” involving paid celebrity appearances.
