Springsteen went after Trump during an interview with the Swedish TV show "Skavlan," scheduled to air Friday, Sept. 23.
"(Trump) comes along and he has a very simple answers to these complex problems and he's telling some of the people things they want to hear," Springsteen said. "If you're very uncomfortable by the browning of America, well, we'll build a wall and keep all those people out "
"But if you have struggled and you have suffered and you have not gotten that piece of the pie or you're struggle to keep your family going, someone saying it can be a very compelling argument," Springsteen explained.
The Boss also called Trump a "moron" in an interview with Rolling Stone.
"The ideas he's moving to the mainstream are all very dangerous ideas – white nationalism and the alt-right movement," Springsteen said. "The outrageous things that he's done – not immediately disavowing David Duke ? These are things that are obviously beyond the pale for any previous political candidate. It would sink your candidacy immediately."
"I believe that there's a price being paid for not addressing the real cost of the deindustrialization and globalization that has occurred in the United States for the past 35, 40 years and how it’s deeply affected people's lives and deeply hurt people to where they want someone who says they have a solution," Springsteen continued.
Unlike Bon Jovi, Springsteen has not campaigned for Clinton, but he does support her for president, according to Rolling Stone.
"I like Hillary," Springsteen said. "I think she would be a very, very good president."
