Bruce Springsteen just called the President of the United States a traitor in front of a Los Angeles crowd.
The 76-year-old then walked offstage to a tour where floor seats cost seven thousand dollars.
The working man's rock star is charging more per seat than most Americans make in a month.
Springsteen Called Trump Treasonous at His Kia Forum Los Angeles Concert
Tuesday night at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Springsteen told the crowd that America is "currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration."
He barely stopped for a breath.
This is the same speech he delivered in Minneapolis eight days ago on opening night of his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour" – practically word for word.
He called Trump a "wannabe king."
He announced the tour itself was assembled "in defense of America."

What he didn't mention is what it costs to get in the room to hear him say it.
Bruce Springsteen Ticket Prices Hit $7,000 Dollars While He Lectures the Working Class
Floor seats for Springsteen's "No Kings" tour – that's actually what he's calling it – topped out at seven thousand dollars a ticket.
Upper-level seats hit a thousand dollars.
The cheapest seats in the house started at eighty-four dollars, if you got lucky in the first thirty seconds of the sale.
A longtime fan who had attended more than two dozen Springsteen shows put it plainly on his Instagram: "I've always had floor seats and now floor seats are $7k. I don't think I'm using a mortgage payment on seats."
Even Springsteen's own base couldn't stomach it.
"It feels contradictory to defend democracy while playing by pure free-market rules where money decides everything," another fan wrote.
Trump saw the irony immediately.
He went on Truth Social and told his supporters – working Americans, the people Springsteen has spent a career pretending to champion – to save their money.
"MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!" Trump wrote.
He also called Springsteen "a total loser who spews hate" – a man who won the popular vote, all seven swing states, and 86% of counties across America.
How Springsteen Built His Anti-Trump Tour on a Working Class Lie
This isn't new.
Springsteen has been doing this since 2016 – calling Trump dangerous, rallying for Democrats, camping in every blue city on earth to lecture paying audiences about the working man.
He endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024 and campaigned against Trump throughout the election.
He played an anti-Trump "No Kings" rally in St. Paul, Minnesota.

He released a protest song called "Streets of Minneapolis" – rushed out after two ICE-related shooting deaths his liberal media allies turned into a cause.
He told the Minnesota Star Tribune the tour was going to be "political and very topical."
What he didn't tell the Star Tribune is that the political statement costs five hundred dollars on average resale before you even reach your seat.
Fox News contributor Joe Concha called it exactly what it is – a "jungle land of hypocrisy" – a millionaire rock star charging premium prices to lecture working Americans about a president who actually won the working-class vote.
Springsteen has been worth hundreds of millions of dollars for decades.
His 2023–2025 tour was one of the biggest revenue generators in concert history, selling close to five million tickets.
He is not the guy from Nebraska. He hasn't been for a long time.
Trump Called the Springsteen Boycott Right and the Numbers Prove It
Here's what nobody is saying out loud.
Springsteen's entire political act depends on the audience believing he's one of them – the Asbury Park kid, the factory towns, the flag-on-the-guitar romantic.
That image survives as long as people don't look too hard at the economics.
Trump called it perfectly when he pointed out that Springsteen goes overseas to attack the President of the United States before bringing that same act home for top dollar.
That's not rock and roll defiance.
That's market testing your product in friendlier territory first.
The working Americans Springsteen says he's defending – the ones Trump carried in 2024 – can't get into a Springsteen show anymore.
They can't afford it.
The people who can afford three thousand dollars a seat are the same coastal liberals who have never set foot in a factory, cheering Springsteen's rants because he's delivering emotional validation for what they already believe.
That's not rock and roll.
That's a fundraiser with a guitar.
