recently highlighted a moment of inexplicable artistry from legendary musician Bruce Springsteen, who, during his European tour stop in Manchester, experienced what some have dubbed a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
In a spirited response, Kid Rock didn’t hold back, dismissing Springsteen’s remarks as “garbage” and a prime example of TDS at its zenith.
Springsteen, a steadfast advocate for the Democratic Party—including his support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election—didn’t mince words when he critiqued Donald Trump and his administration, labeling them “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous,” while declaring Trump an “unfit president and a rogue government.”
Fox News’ Steve Doocey sought Kid Rock’s insights on Springsteen’s comments.
“Garbage,” Kid Rock reiterated. “Garbage. TDS at the highest level.”
He elaborated, “I mean, he’s over there creating peace in the Middle East—one of the places he could possibly erupt and send the world into turmoil. He’s over there getting it done. Not only getting great deals for our country, which I’ve told everybody, I got people at high levels working in the financial world. When he’s doing that stuff, they’re all freaking out. I’m like, just give him a minute.”
Kid Rock continued, “I’m like, this guy does not know how to lose, period. He gets up every morning, I mean, busts his ass for this country. Thank God for him and his administration.”
