Musician’s union condemns Donald Trump’s attacks on Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen

# US president Donald Trump’s online rants targeting Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen has infuriated a local union for musicians. Trump has a long history of directing barbed comments at Swift following her endorsement of Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign. During a recent concert in Manchester, England, Springsteen slammed Trump’s administration, with Trump then describing him as dumb as a rock. The president of the American Federation of Musicians, Tino Gagliardi, says Springsteen and Swift are brilliant musicians and international role models with the right to freedom of expression.
