WATCH: Bruce Springsteen on Donald Trump: “He’s such a flagrant, toxic narcissist”

If we were to hazard a guess, we’d say the Boss is voting for Hillary.

Legendary musician Bruce Springsteen has laid into Republican candidate Donald Trump ahead of next month’s US Presidential election, labelling him “a flagrant, toxic narcissist”.

Springsteen, who has supported the election campaigns of Barack Obama in the recent past, has never hid his feelings about Trump, whom he called a “moron” in an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year.

In an interview with Channel 4 News, Springsteen commented on Trump’s claims that the election has been rigged, the desperate actions, the Boss suggested, of a man who “knows he’s going to lose”.

“The trouble at the moment is you have Donald Trump who is talking about rigged elections and he’s not… he has a feeling he’s going to lose now, which he of course is going to lose,” Springsteen said.

“And he’s such a flagrant, toxic narcissist that he wants to take down the entire democratic system with him if he goes.”

Springsteen went onto say that Trump “simply has no sense of decency and no sense of responsibility about him” and that if he is going to go down in the election, he’s not going to go quietly.

“I think he’s going to make as big a mess as he can,” Springsteen said.

“I don’t know what that’s going to mean but we’ll find out shortly.”
