No American can be a nationalist and for global government any more than an American can believe in theocracy and the U.S. Constitution:
Or did Trump mean?
Trump is no different than Obama in that you have to look at what he does not what he says. For starters no president, or Secretary of State, should go to the United Nations for anything:
The Korean War was the first PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY war. Going to the United Nations for help in dealing with North Korea repeats the mistake. In short: The United Nations saved North Korea from total defeat. Only fools think anything will change now that Communist China has a permanent seat on the Security Council:

“Hey, I’m a nationalist and a globalist,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. “I’m both.”

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none. Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural Address, 1801.

President Truman said this about stopping Communist expansion in Korea:
We've got to stop the sons of bitches, no matter what, and that's all there is to it.
Truman jumped on the Soviet Union’s failure to attend a Security Council meeting; so he took the opportunity to stop Communist expansion by manipulating the UN; hence, a UN Police Action rather than a declared war. Had the Soviets attended the one and only Security Council meeting they ever missed, they would have vetoed Truman’s military opposition to North Korea’s aggression.
Incidentally, President Truman was right in stopping Communism, but he was wrong in getting the UN’s approval.
NOTE: The real reason President Truman fired General MacArthur was because Communist China was not a member of the United Nations. Mac wanted to cross the Yalu River and bomb Communist China. That would have amounted to the infant United Nations declaring war on China. General MacArthur was correct in light of what China is today.
