this while his henchmen interrogate comey about puka shell 8645.
Arguably, the last line is a threat or exhortation to Trump’s supporters to punish Springsteen for his temerity…

And guys like Ramrouser eat this shit up.

I can actually see Ramrouser loving Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and applauding Trump for this rant.
Like many “conservatives” (including Reagan and his 1984 “Morning in America” campaign), he likely only listened to the “Born in the USA” part of the lyrics.

And not understanding them.
In 1984, the Reagan Campaign started playing “Born in the USA” at its rallies and events.
Springsteen told them to stop or he’d sue.
The Reagan Campaign asked if it could purchase the rights to play the song.
Springsteen commented, “No. Also, have you listened to the lyrics?”
Reagan had already been referencing this great, young, patriotic musician from New Jersey in his speeches…..Springsteen asked that they stop that as well.

Tesla reveals ‘insane’ drop in value of Cybertruck amid Musk backlash
Value crash comes despite Elon Musk claiming they will be ‘appreciating assets’
www.independent.co.uk
Tesla has begun accepting Cybertruck trade-ins for the first time, revealing a stark depreciation in value for the electric truck.
After a year of refusing trade-ins, the EV giant began providing estimates to Cybertruck owners for used vehicles, offering just $65,000 for a $100,000 truck bought in 2024 with 10,000 kilometres (6,000 miles) on the odometer.
This 35 per cent markdown on a year-old truck, which was shared by an owner on the Cybertruck Owners Club, is how much value the average pickup truck would typically lose after five years.
The drop in value comes despite Tesla boss Elon Musk claiming in 2019 that his vehicles would only grow in value.
“Buying a car today is an investment into the future,” he said on the Lex Fridman Podcast. “I think the most profound thing is that if you buy a Tesla today, I believe you are buying an appreciating asset – not a depreciating asset.”
Electric vehicle news site Electrek, who first reported the trade-in offers, described the devaluation as “insane”, and confirmation that the Cybertruck has been “a commercial flop”.
The low trade-in value appears to reflect a glut in supply of the pentagonal vehicle, with Tesla’s Cybertruck inventory reportedly reaching a record high of 10,000 units this month.
Data from Tesla-info.com, which tracks listings in the US, suggests Tesla has around $800 million worth of unsold Cybertrucks.

Trump wipes Elon Musk’s name from Truth Social as GOP insiders say he’s ‘finished’
President Donald Trump was posting about Musk on Truth Social an average of four times per week in February and March
www.independent.co.uk
President Donald Trump has stopped mentioning Elon Musk on Truth Social as the administration takes a significant step back from the tech billionaire brought on to trim the federal budget.
Trump was posting about Musk an average of four times per week in February and March on Truth Social as Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency led the firing of employees and shuttering of federal departments, but the president hasn’t mentioned him once since the start of April, according to an analysis by Politico.
Equally, until early April, Musk posted about the president on his X account almost every day but posts where Trump is mentioned have since tailed off.
Musk has stepped back from front-line politics since proving unpopular with the public, according to polling, and he faced ridicule over the outcome of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race last month.
“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terribly. People hate him,” an anonymous GOP operative told Politico. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. ... It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”
...
The president has also stopped using Musk’s name to raise money in emails to online supporters, according to Politico. Musk was mentioned almost daily until early March and since then, only one message including the SpaceX CEO was sent out touting a “Gulf of America” cap he once wore, according to the outlet.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that DOGE’s work “will surely continue,” but did not mention Musk directly in response to the outlet.

Anyone loyal to Trump has to know they will only last as long as they are useful to him. Unless they are completely ignorant and blind to his prior history.Trump wipes Elon Musk’s name from Truth Social as GOP insiders say he’s ‘finished’

Trump Spent Just 20 Minutes Speaking at Crypto Dinner to People Who Paid $148 Million to Be There
They wanted to be in the room where it happens (and the "it" is corruption).

Leaked videos show Trump using the official presidential seal at his crypto investors' gala despite White House claims it was a strictly "private" event.
www.mediaite.com
“Leaked videos on social media show President Donald Trump using the official presidential seal at his crypto investors’ gala despite White House claims it was a strictly “private” event.
The president’s schedule Thursday contained an opaque entry that read “7:00 PM: THE PRESIDENT attends a Private Dinner, Trump National Golf Club, Closed Press.”
…The “winners” were not publicly disclosed and the event was closed to the press. …
…Hours before the event, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the dinner and the secrecy surrounding it, insisting it was a purely “private” event and telling reporters, “The president is attending it in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner, it’s not taking place here at the White House.”
But several videos leaked on social media by attendees show Trump speaking at the dinner, at least one of which featured the official seal.…”
