Rock legend Bruce Springsteen is the latest celebrity to criticise Donald Trump, insisting the presidential hopeful is a "moron", besides calling his election campaign "tragic".
The singer was stunned when the property tycoon and reality TV star won the Republican Party's nomination for US leader, despite never holding a political position.
Trump will now face-off with Democrat Hillary Clinton in November for the chance to replace Barack Obama in the White House, but his hard-hitting politics and views on immigrants, Muslims and women have turned many voters off and Springsteen is one.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, 67-year-old Springsteen, said, "The republic is under siege by a moron," referring to Trump.
"The whole thing is tragic. Without overstating it, it's a tragedy for our democracy. The ideas he's moving to the mainstream are all very dangerous ideas - white nationalism and the alt-right movement. The outrageous things that he's done... These are things that are obviously beyond the pale for any previous political candidate."
Earlier, Barbra Streisand, Jon Bon Jovi, Bono among others have slammed Trump.
A fervent Democrat, who was a big supporter of Obama throughout his two terms as president, Springsteen admits he'll be voting for Clinton in November.
"I like Hillary. I think she would be a very, very good president.
