He called out these as dangerous times, rallying the crowd against what he sees as threats to the country. Trump didn't hold back on true social, slamming Springsteen as a boring singer, which trumped Arrangement Syndrome and a total loser. He pushed his supporters to boycott the overpriced shows and save their cash. Fans are feeling the pinch too, griping about tickets hitting $1,000 for upper seats,
