Bruce Springsteen Is Leaving The US Alongwith Robert De Niro, “No Respect For Us Here”

In a dramatic post-election twist that feels straight out of a Hollywood screenplay, Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro have declared their intentions to leave the United States following Donald Trump’s resounding reelection victory. Citing a lack of respect and a growing cultural divide, the iconic musician and legendary actor delivered their joint announcement in what can only be described as a heartfelt, albeit theatrical, farewell to the nation they’ve called home for decades.

America is unrecognizable,” Springsteen said during a hastily organized press conference outside a New York diner, his usual denim-clad stoicism replaced with visible disappointment. “I’ve sung about its struggles, its triumphs, its people. But this? This isn’t the America I wrote about in Born to Run.”

De Niro, ever the dramatic performer, chimed in. “We’re not running away,” he clarified, his hands gesturing as if directing his own impassioned monologue. “We’re being pushed out. There’s no respect for us here anymore.”

Both men have long been vocal critics of Trump, with De Niro famously calling the former president “a fool” and Springsteen lamenting the division he believes Trump’s presidency has exacerbated. Their decision to leave the U.S. comes as they claim to feel increasingly alienated in a country they say has turned its back on the values they hold dear.

For years, I’ve been called ‘The Boss,’ but now it seems America doesn’t even want a worker like me,” Springsteen quipped, attempting to inject some humor into the otherwise somber announcement. “We’re leaving because staying feels like pretending things are fine when they’re not.”

De Niro, never one to mince words, took a sharper tone. “You know what it feels like? It feels like living in a bad movie, and I’ve made a few bad movies,” he said with a wry grin.

“But even Rocky and Bullwinkle had more sense than this.”
While the duo stopped short of naming their final destination, rumors are swirling that Springsteen has his eye on Italy, the homeland of his ancestors, while De Niro might join him for an extended stay in Tuscany. “Italy respects its artists,” De Niro noted. “And the food’s better, let’s be honest.”
