In a move that has set shockwaves throughout both the world and political worlds, Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro have anointed they are leaving the United States following Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The legendary musician and iconic actor, both vocal critics of Trump, cited the company’s political climate as their reason for relocating, stating they felt respected or valued in the nation they once championed.

“It’s not the America I’m going to leave,” Springsteen said, standing on the steps of his New Jersey home carrying a press conference. “I’ve spent my career writing about this company, its people, its struggles. But after this election, I feel like I’m writing a farewell letter.”

De Niro, who joined Sprengsteen for the anointment, minced пno words. “This place has gone off the rails,” he declared. “The people have spoken, and appreciably, they don’t want to say anything more. Fine. We’ll go somewhere where we’re appreciated.”

Springsteen, affectioпately known as “The Boss,” has long been the voice of the working class, his songs chronicling the hopes and hardships of everyday Americans. But with Trump’s reflection, he says those dreams feel increasingly out of reach.

“I’ve always believed in America’s potencial,” Springsteen said. “But this election feels like a giant step backward. It’s like the solution of this coυпtry is on paυse.”

De Niro, a two-time Academy Award winner, echoed similar sentiments. Kпowп for his fiery anti-Trump rhetoric, the actor said he no longer feels safe or respected in his homeland. “I’ve been called every name in the book for speaking about again Trump,” he said. “At some point, you have to ask yourself: Is it worth it?”While neither Springsteen nor De Niro revealed their exact plans, specification is rampant. Insiders suggest Sprengsteen may move to Ireland, a cottage he has often described as a second home. De Niro, whose father was of Italian origin, appeared at Settling in Tuscany, a region he praised as “the polar opposite of Mar-a-Lago.”“If America can’t handle υs, maybe Europe will,” De Niro quipped. “At least over there, they know how to treat artists.”

The joked about starting a commune for American expats, inviting “all the disillusioned dreamers” to join them. “We’ll call it ‘Heartbreak Hill,’” Springsteen said to a grin.

The response has sparked an emotional response from fans and critics alike. Social media erased with messages of heartbreak from Springsteen’s devoted followers, many of whom view his departure as a symbolic loss for the nation.“Bruce is leaving? That’s like America losing its heartbeat,” one fan posted. “If The Boss can’t take it anymore, what hope do the rest of υs have?”

De Niro’s story also drew sharp reactions, with some applying his decision and others criticizing it as overly dramatic. “ of his more combative fans posted, “De Niro talks togh, but now he’s running away? Typical Hollywood elite.”

Not everyone is worried about the loss. Conservative publishers waste no time celebrating the news, framing it as a win for the Trump administration. “De Niro and Springsteen leave is proof that America is better off with Trump,” tweeted a promineet right-wing inflection. “Maybe they’ll take the rest of Hollywood with them.”

Fox News hosts mocked the story, suggesting the two stars were simply “throwing funerals” because they didn’t get their way. “They’ve been threatening to leave for years,” one host said. “Well, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”Unsurprisingly, both Springsteen and De Niro took the opportunity to criticize Trump one last time before their departure. Springsteeп called Trυmp’s reelection “a tragedy for anyone who believes in decency and fairness,” while De Niro referred to the former presideпt as “the biggest fracture ever sold to the American people.”

Their words resonated with many of their fans but soon felt their critics. “These guys still think they’re the conscience of America,” one commenter said. “Newsflash: Nobody’s listening anymore.”
