Bruce Springsteen was born in the U.S.A. and he's afraid for its future.

During an interview Thursday with "CBS This Morning," the Boss laughed at the realization that President Donald Trump is still mocking him on the campaign trail.

At a Minnesota rally earlier this month, Trump said he didn't need "Beyoncé and Jay-Z. And I didn't need little Bruce Springsteen" to beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

"So he's going back to 2016. And this is now 2019. You surprised that he's trash-talking you after all this time?" co-host Gayle King asked Springsteen.

His reply? "Not really. Anything's possible."

But Springsteen said the current direction of the country isn't a laughing matter.

"It's just frightening, you know? We're living in a frightening time," the rocker said.

Springsteen continued: "The stewardship of the nation is – has been thrown away to somebody who doesn't have a clue as to what that means. … And unfortunately, we have somebody who I feel doesn't have a grasp of the deep meaning of what it means to be an American."

Springsteen and fellow New Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi performed at Clinton's election-eve rally at Independence Hall in Philadelphia in 2016, a fact Trump proudly revisited during his own Oct. 10 rally in Minneapolis.

"They got Bruce Springsteen. He'd do about two songs, then leave, and what happens? Everyone leaves with him," said Trump, in a backhanded compliment. "And (Clinton's) still speaking in front of the same lousy crowd. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen."
