Eric Church Defends Bruce Springsteen Amidst His Fiery Feud With Donald Trump

It looks like Bruce Springsteen has another ally in the ongoing, tumultuous feud with Donald Trump. It’s getting increasingly difficult to track everything by the day. It’s like both sides are assembling their armies; an Avengers Civil War between country acts, conservatives, and old rock stars. But I’ll do my best to recap everything up to this point. First, The Boss performs at a concert in Manchester, England, where he laments the current administration back in America.

Obviously, this upsets Trump and his legion. Trump does his fair share of clapping back, Kid Rock reacts in the exact way you would expect him to react. He tells Springsteen to stay in Europe and says he likes Bob Seger more anyway. Conservative media also play their part in gassing the entire affair up.

Then, Neil Young backs Bruce during this whole debacle. He trashes Trump and tells him to do his job and get off of his phone. Not long ago, Young also invites the president out to one of his shows since he used to be a fan. It’s a weird way to try and squash the Springsteen beef and incite American values in Trump.

Now, Eric Church joins the fray and it might be obvious who he backs up.

Eric Church Supports Bruce Springsteen Amidst The Donald Trump Feud

Recently, Church spoke to Rolling Stone in promotion of his album Evangeline vs The Machine. There, they ask the “Springsteen” crooner his reaction to the whole debacle with Donald Trump. Ultimately, he’s just about the good ol’ freedom of speech and admires that he had the courage to say what was on his mind.

“I respect the hell out of somebody having the balls to do something like that. If you’re Bruce Springsteen, at 75 years old, if that’s what floats your boat, then you should do that. I was just ready to hear ‘Chimes of Freedom,’” Church adds. “You could tell he wanted to get something off his chest. It added a little more, whatever that was … angst … and the show was fantastic. Best Springsteen show I’ve seen.”

When it comes to his own politics, Church can’t call it either way. He cherry-picks from both ideologies to formulate something of his own. “I have a problem with the political system where I believe things on both sides, but if I have to pick a party, it means that I can’t believe some of those things,” he says after his Springsteen explanation. “If I’m a Republican or I’m a Democrat, I have to be all Republican or all Democrat, and there’s no way those guys and girls believe that. There’s no f-king way.”

“It sounds like I can’t make up my mind,” Church adds. “I bristle at that. But if you look at how broad these issues and topics are, I think there’s a small percentage of Americans that truly believe in 100 percent of a party’s platform. Most Americans go back and forth. I change my mind all the damn time.
