Bruce Springsteen is formally doubling down on his outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump, referring to himself as a "patriot" in his recent PBS special, Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song (via Variety).
In Springsteen's view, the 76-year-old singer believes the true mark of a patriot is willingly facing the flaws of the current American landscape, allowing each citizen to do their part in improving the country around them.
“I believe in critical patriotism,” Springsteen said in the PBS special. “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, recognize its faults, encourage it to be a better place, and believe that you carry in your heart the country that is waiting.”
Of course, Springsteen himself has remained one of the most vocal opponents of Trump and his ongoing presidential administration. During his recent Land of the Hope and Dreams tour, Springsteen called out the commander-in-chief and then-attorney general Pam Bondi, saying, “She prosecutes our president’s perceived enemies, covers up for his misdeeds and protects his powerful friends.”
The Boss then set his sights on Trump himself, criticizing the president's hypocritical use of the term "snowflakes" when discussing his political opponents.
"You want to talk about snowflakes?" Springsteen said. "We have a president who can’t handle the truth.”
Unsurprisingly, Trump has hardly kept quiet about his own personal ill-feelings towards Springsteen. More recently, the president even encouraged his followers to boycott Springsteen and his music, calling the artist "a total loser."
“Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump shared on social media. “The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America.”
