Speaking Sunday at the Arc de Triomphe beside Trump and other world leaders, Macron decried nationalism as a betrayal of patriotism. Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism, Macron said. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying our interests first... we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what gives it grace, and what is essential: its moral values." Trump has faced criticism for referring to himself as a nationalist, comments that he doubled down on last week during a press conference. When asked about his use of the phrase, which often has racist connotations due to the use of white nationalist, Trump said we have to straighten out our country first. He then criticized the reporter, PBS NewsHours Yamiche Alcindor, saying her question itself was racist. Macrons comments on Sunday came after the White House canceled Trumps planned visit to a U.S. military cemetery in northern France due to bad weather. The move drew a steady stream of domestic and international criticism. Upon landing in Paris days earlier, Trump also knocked Macron in a tweet, calling the French presidents suggestion of a true, European army to defend itself without relying on the U.S. very insulting." --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:912210104] in Macron cal...

Trump (not exactly a high bar) Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. Charles de Gaulle Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. Albert Einstein Nationalism is a tool increasingly used by leaders to bolster their authority, especially amid difficult economic and political conditions. Richard N. Haass Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill. Richard Aldington Patriotism can flourish only where racism and nationalism are given no quarter. We should never mistake patriotism for nationalism. A patriot is one who loves his homeland. A nationalist is one who scorns the homelands of others. Johannes Rau The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.
