Lara Trump calls Bruce Springsteen ‘idiot’ over anti-ICE protest song ‘Streets of Minneapolis’

WASHINGTON, DC: Lara Trump isn't exactly vibing with Bruce Springsteen's latest anti-ICE number.

The President’s daughter-in-law took aim at the rock legend after he dropped a new track protesting federal immigration enforcement, branding the 76-year-old icon as an 'idiot.'

Springsteen, a longtime critic of President Donald Trump, released a new song titled 'Streets of Minneapolis' last week. The track pays tribute to people shot by federal agents while accusing the Trump administration of spreading 'lies.'

Lara Trump shreds Bruce Springsteen's latest track

Springsteen’s new release pulls no punches lyrically. The song includes the line, 'Two dead left to die on snow-filled streets, Alex Pretti and Renee Good,' and also takes a jab at 'King Trump' and his 'private army from the DHS.'

Those lyrics didn’t sit well with Lara Trump, who addressed the song during the latest episode of her podcast 'The Right View'. Trump, 43, who is married to Eric Trump, played footage of 'Streets of Minneapolis' and offered live commentary as the track played.

She didn’t exactly rave about the listening experience, describing it as 'pretty rough to get through.' Trump also mocked a lyric referencing a 'bloody mist' on the streets.

“What are you talking about?” she asked, questioning Springsteen’s track record when it comes to other tragedies. She said she could not remember the Boss writing 'a song for those who have actually been killed by illegal aliens' or the people 'who are poisoned by fentanyl that comes across our southern border.'

“When’s Bruce Springsteen writing that song? How about the people down at the Texas facility, the border patrol agents who were fired upon by a domestic terrorist? When did he write that song? That’s right, he didn’t do that,” she remarked.

Defending ICE and targeting protesters

Trump went on to argue that public figures like Springsteen should focus on easing tensions rather than inflaming them. She said one would think 'a person with a platform' like Springsteen 'would use it to do good, calm people down, maybe bring us together a little bit. All that does is divide people.'

The podcast host also stood firmly behind Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, including recent raids in Minneapolis and other parts of the country. She ripped demonstrators who attempted to interfere with federal authorities.

“If Bruce Springsteen has this big a problem with enforcing our federal law, hey Bruce, go talk to the United States Congress,” Trump said.

She continued with an even harsher rebuke of protesters opposing ICE operations.

“These people who think it’s a great idea to get out and impede a federal law operation, which is exactly what’s going on in Minneapolis, what’s gone on all over this country, by the way, for about a year now… if you think that’s a good idea, I’m sorry to tell you, you are an idiot. It is a terrible idea always," she said.

Addressing the deaths of Good and Pretti, who were shot by federal agents last month, Trump struck a more somber note but maintained her stance on law enforcement. “No one should be dead right now, unfortunately, things happen,” she said.

Telling Bruce Springsteen to take it to Congress

Trump reiterated her argument that if Springsteen truly objects to immigration laws, his frustrations should be directed at lawmakers rather than those simply enforcing them. “Don’t blame Stephen Miller. Don’t blame Kristi Noem. Don’t blame Donald Trump. Go talk to the people who actually put the laws of the land in place," she snarked.

However, Lara Trump insisted that Springsteen would 'never' do that “because he’s very comfortable in his mansion, on his private jet, virtue signaling like this, and putting out some ridiculous song like that.” She even apologized to listeners for playing the track on her show. “I’m sorry everyone had to endure that," she said.

The White House also brushed off Springsteen’s song following its release, saying it was unbothered by 'random songs with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information.'

The clash between the Trump camp and Springsteen isn’t new. Last May, President Trump responded to the rocker’s criticism while the musician was overseas, calling him 'Highly Overrated.'

“Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK," Trump said, later calling him a 'dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker' whose 'skin is all atrophied!'
