Bono on Trump, Springsteen feud: 'There's only one boss in America'

Bono is defending fellow superstar musician Bruce Springsteen, who was recently attacked by President Trump after the "Born to Run" singer blasted the president during an overseas concert earlier this month.

“I think there’s only ... only one boss in America,” Bono said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's late night program when asked which side of the Trump vs. Springsteen feud he was on.

The Irish singer-songwriter also dismissed the president's accusations that he, Springsteen and other celebrities were paid to endorse then-Vice President Harris in her race against Trump last year.

"Two points I'll make: One, to be in the company of Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, and Oprah — I’d play tambourine in that band. And two, U2 and I have never been paid or played a show to support any candidate from any parts. That never happened," he said.

The musician alluded to attacks Trump has leveled against Kimmel, saying, “I don’t want to cut in on your action because I know the president at 1 a.m. or 1:30 or whatever that was is usually thinking about you."

The comments were first highlighted by Mediate.

Trump has ramped up his criticism of Springsteen and other celebrities in recent weeks, posting an edited video on social media last week showing him hitting Springsteen with a golf ball amid the ongoing tension.

Springsteen, during a concert in the U.K. days earlier, had criticized the president, saying the U.S. is “currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

Bono, during the interview with Kimmel, said, "We’ve got a lot of very religious Catholics, evangelicals, conservatives, who are very, very, very angry with the person that they voted into office, having demolished instruments of mercy and compassion," mentioning the scaling back of humanitarian assistance throughout the world through USAID.

“That’s the America that we love," he said. "That’s the America that we all want to be part of, and they are not happy, and there will be trouble.”
