You fuck with Springsteen and you fuck with people worldwide.
He is Loved everywhere.

This illustrates pretty perfectly Trump's misunderstanding of "Born in the USA."

They hear the "Born in the USA, Born in the USA" chorus and think it's about them. They zone out during the verses and get aroused during the chorus.

It takes a lot of prunes to flush out all the accumulated crap he's been carrying around.

The inside showing on the outside.

Let's see how it goes for the toad if he touches Springsteen in any way.

As it ages, the cracks aren't a detrement, they show character.

Bruce shows his...he's earned into ot, he wears it well. And, obviously, Trump shows his, for dramatically different reasons.

This is hard to explain, but I'll try. I think the people who love / like / respect Bruce do so because of his music, and the content of his character. Bruce isn't a teen idol. He never was, really. He came out of the gates with worthy, compelling content. He was a man who wrote and performed brilliant songs, and I think that, more than anything else, is what the world connected with. SUBSTANCE.

Trump's never been about substance, because he's never had any. He was handed $420 million and a fat Rolodex by his daddy. He burned through ALL of that cash, FAILED at everything he touched, had NO character, NO morals, NO...SUBSTANCE.

DONALD TRUMP HATES AUTHENTIC PEOPLE. He hates people with LEGITIMATE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. They somehow reveal to him that he's a loser, a fraud, a clown.

Bruce looks just fine. He looks like Bruce. That's all that's necesessary.

Bruce is gorgeous because of who he IS, which has nothing to do with the quality or age of his skin. Only a vain and shallow man like Trump would think such a petty remark is any kind of insult, rather than a self-own about Trump's own character. I mean, how low can you get? Does this man have a bottom or a "there" there?
