Sure, since he's keen on continuing to flush the whole constitution down the toilet at this point, free speech seems like the next thing to go naturally. I can't wait to be branded an enemy of the state.

Yeah at this point you can kiss the Constitution goodbye.
Buy guns before you can't. We'll probably end up needing them the way things are headed.
If I've learned anything about the US justice system it's that it is pointless to prosecute rich people. They will just get convicted of and then still get off scot free for rape, treason, insurrection etc.
It's a simple fact now that the American justice system is a joke. As is the country in general.
It's the best system money can buy.
Imagine being such a fucking baby that Bruce Springsteen intimidates you.
Why does this read like a backhanded dig at Springsteen?
Bruce Springsteen is famously a nice guy. To be intimated by him would mean you would have to be wildly insecure.
And I'm thinking that a person would have to be an absolute dick for a nice guy like Springsteen to criticise said person.
Agreed.
It's like being intimidated by Mr. Rogers. You have to be the most insecure monster to feel like unconditional kindness is threatening to you.
trump doesn't like that people call Springsteen the Boss.

whatever, crybaby.
the threat of a probe is Trump starting to extort money from those performers using the government to do so in my opinion.
Perhaps, just maybe, a toddler tantrum over a losing campaign paying production costs to performer's crews just like every campaign does, perhaps that's an attempt at deflection from the goddamn president of the United States accepting a luxury airplane from a foreign government which is explicitly forbidden by law.
The American government continues to allow it.
But yeah that is true.
The American people are the government. They’ve abdicated responsibility. The citizens are the ones allowing this to continue. They have LONG been aware they can’t count on their elected officials- and your comment does nothing but give them cover for their absolute cowardice.
So enlighten us. Specifically what do you propose that the citizens actually do?
Asked and answered, repeatedly, in almost every relevant discussion on this site (to say nothing of every history book you’ve ever read)- but hey, you already know this, and yet, have decided that getting defensive is the best response here.
If I’ve learned anything watching him, if he accuses someone else of something it’s only because he’s doing it and figures they must be. So how much did Kid Rock get?
As is always the case with Mango Mussolini and these sewer clowns, every accusation is a confession.
Shocker, he doesn't understand why you would pay people involved in production because he just ignores them
Major Investigation?
is he friends with General Specific and Private Public?
He has been known to grab privates.
Wtf. Complete gibberish. The idiot doesn't even understand the direction of a transaction.
How can ... Democrats paying some Bruce guy to play guitar... be an illegal campaign contribution. To the Democrats?
I have to wonder if he ever learned how a payment works. He grew up rich. Did he ever purchase anything from a store in which you get something and then pay for it by giving the store money?
Is he really on that level of stupidity?
This explains everything.
the key factor is whether the endorsement is part of a coordinated campaign effort or is simply a public communication. If it's a legitimate endorsement to the public, it's generally permissible. However, if it's part of a broader strategy to influence the election AND is coordinated with the candidate, it could be subject to campaign finance regulations.
Campaign laws in the US are strange at times.
I’m not saying laws were broke, personally I doubt they were, just giving info.
Yeah that'll be a nice waste of time for the lawyers who think they'll be paid for doing a massive investigation.
God king makes up the rules. He's attempting to set it up so that whatever he writes in an executive order is immutable.
We can look at this now and go God this is stupid, But be careful we're not very far off it being actionable. He would absolutely love to imprison the competition and anyone that helped them.
He's just pissed because Springsteen said mean words about him. So now, like the big crybaby he is, he's going to shout and whine about how it isn't fair and make all kinds of threats to get even.
No one's going to stop him.
Boy, that Bruce Springsteen guy really got under his thinned skin...all layers of it.
