United Kingdom, July 6 -- Bruce Springsteen thinks being an outspoken critic of Donald Trump is a sign of his "patriotism".

The Dancing in the Dark hitmaker has publicly exchanged words with the US president a number of times over the years and he explained he is comfortable calling out the administration because he cares about his country so mich.

Speaking on his PBS special, Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song, he said: "I believe in critical patriotism.

"I believe that's the definition of a patriot, you know, that you love your country so much that you are willing to look at it clearly, recognise its faults, encourage it to be a better place, and believe that you carry in your heart the country that is waiting."
