Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump have more in common than either may care to admit. The pair grew up only 60 kilometres from each other, separated by the waters between New Jersey and New York. They are septuagenarians (Springsteen is 76 and Trump is 78) whose successes can largely be attributed to their ability to speak to blue-collar America. They are, to many, the quintessential champions of the working man.
They also cannot stand each other. After years trading barbs over politics, the pair have, for the past week or so, engaged in their bitterest war of words yet.
