Trump trying to equate Nationalist with Patriotism in new comments.

Asked what he means when he calls himself a “nationalist,” POTUS says “I love our country” and complains about how the US has been “second fiddle.” Talks about need to protect workers in trade deals and unfairness of US “protecting very rich countries” and need to be reimbursed.




.................

Its as I said, he is trying to make the nationalist word, some kind of new patriotism, this cannot be allowed to happen, its normalising it for the media and the voters.

This is very very dangerous, has to be stopped.

Trump WANTS us to be second fiddle to Russia. And Saudi Arabia, too, evidently. Maybe third fiddle?
