"The Boss," 76, has appeared frequently in the city to protest Trump and his White House staffers following the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, including writing a song called Streets of Minneapolis inspired by their killings.

And he once again sounded off on Trump and what he called "dangerous times" as he took the stage at Target Center to launch his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour.

He ranted: "The America that I love, the America that I've written about for 50 years that's been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration."

Springsteen then asked his audience to join him and the E Street Band in condemning the Trump administration.

He told the crowd: "Choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division and peace over..."

Springsteen and the band finished the spiel by performing a cover of Edwin Starr's War, which the New Jersey native has been using to protest Republicans going as far back as Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.

The events were set up to express left-wing opposition to various Trump administration policies, including the ICE raids and the Iran War.

Last May, while performing a concert in Manchester, England, Springsteen dubbed the Trump administration as "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,” which sparked an angry comeback from the president who branded the singer "a dried-out prune."

He also said Springsteen "ought to keep his mouth shut until he gets back in the country."

But the Born In The USA hitmaker hit back again, saying: "It's an American tragedy.

"We're living through a terrible moment in history, where Congress has neutered itself, and the boundaries that once curtailed this type of leadership have disintegrated."

He added: "The pure incompetence of (the administration) may carry the seeds of its own destruction.

"But I don't know what’s going to happen. I haven't lived through a time like this in my entire life, and I'm 75 years old."

Springsteen has supported many of Trump's opponents in recent years.

Springsteen campaigned for Trump's opponents in recent years, including Kamala Harris, ahead of the last election.

In 2020, he said that "a good portion of our fine country, to my eye, has been thoroughly hypnotized, brainwashed by a con man from Queens."

During his career, Springsteen has challenged his audience politically beyond presidential endorsements.

The 1995 album The Ghost of Tom Joad bluntly documented the lives of struggling immigrants, Mexican and Vietnamese among them.

And his 2001 song American Skin (41 Shots), criticized the shooting by New York City police officers of an unarmed Guinean immigrant named Amadou Diallo, angering some of the blue-collar segments of his fan base.
