The Hollywood star was attacked by Hillary supporters after refusing to vote for her in the 2016 election.
Ms Sarandon said: “I did think she was very, very dangerous.
“We would still be fracking, we would be at war. It wouldn’t be much smoother.”
The Thelma & Louise star campaigned for Mrs Clinton’s Democratic rival Bernie Sanders before voting for an independent candidate after he was knocked out of the race.

She said: “Not exactly, but I don’t mind that quote.”
Ms Sarandon also broke ranks with other members of the Hollywood elite to criticise Obama’s precidency.
Speaking about the deportations that have taken place under Trump she claimed Clinton would have done it the same way as Obama.
Ms Sarandon said: “She would’ve done it the way Obama did it.
“Which was sneakily. He deported more people than have been deported now.
“How he got the Nobel Peace Prize I don’t know.”
Failing to support Hillary put Ms Sarandon firmly in the sights of social media trolls who sent her sick messages and threats.
The Bernie Sanders supporter said: “I got from Hillary people ‘I hope your crotch is grabbed’, ‘I hope you’re raped’. Misogynistic attacks.”
The shock revelations come after Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen claimed President Trump’s war of words with Kim Jong-un was making the threat of nuclear war more likely.
He said: “I think it’s more probable than it used to be.
“And it scares me to death, quite frankly. They’re the most dangerous weapons in the world.
“And certainly if we have someone in North Korea that has a lethal legacy, is very, very unpredictable, and sees this as a way to solidify his future, that he could well not just attain them but potentially use them.”
