Bruce Springsteen previously called out Donald Trump claiming that his leadership was damaging America's global reputation
Bruce Springsteen put his feud aside for a moment and expressed his gratitude for the safety of President Donald Trump and other officials after the White House shooting scare.
The singer, who has been openly critical of Trump for years, took a moment during the opening of his show in Austin on Sunday night and acknowledged the shooting at the White House Correspondent's Dinner on Saturday night.
The Boss began his message by offering a “prayer of thanks" that the resident, nor anyone in the administration, nor anyone attending, was injured.”
Springsteen continued, “We can disagree, we can be critical of those in power, and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs, but there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States.”
For those unversed, on April 25,during the Correspondent's Dinner, a shooter attempted to enter the White House with arms and started firing outside the ballroom. Despite the shots being fired President Donald Trump and others officials escaped unharmed.
Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump's Feud:
The Boss and the current president of the US have engaged in a war of words, sharing cutting remarks for each other over the years.
Springsteen recently criticized Trump's administration during a live performance, saying, "This White House is destroying the American idea and our reputation around the world."
In response, Trump called him a "bad, and very boring singer."
Trump further claimed that Springsteen "looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon."
