Rock legend Bruce Springsteen says the United States is definitely not in its glory days with President Donald Trump in the White House.

Springsteen, in an Esquire interview posted Tuesday, called the president dangerous and said his divisive politics were a crime.

Trump has no interest in uniting the country, really, and actually has an interest in doing the opposite and dividing us, which he does on an almost daily basis, the Born to Run singer told the magazine. So thats simply a crime against humanity, as far as Im concerned.

In discussing his 1980 song The Ties That Bind, the 69-year-old multiple Grammy winner said the bonds of family and community cant be broken and that applies to Trump.

He has forsaken a lot of these things, and its affected him, Springsteen said. Hes deeply damaged at his core. ... Anyone in that position who doesnt deeply feel those ties that bind is a dangerous man, and its very pitiful.

Springsteen has been highly critical of the Trump administrations border policies, calling them disgracefully inhumane and un-American during his Broadway show in June.

But The Boss, whose Springsteen on Broadway is coming to Netflix on Dec. 16, did strike one hopeful chord about the nations leadership in the Esquire article. Sort of.

I do believe well survive Trump, he said. But I dont know if I see a unifying figure on the horizon. That worries me.
