Trump the Nationalist

[edward37]

Late-night host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday slammed President Trump for embracing the "nationalist" label, saying that there is a clear reason why people shouldn't describe themselves as one.

“You know why you’re not supposed to use that word? Because it’s the second half of ‘white nationalist,'" Colbert said on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." "Chopping off the first word doesn’t change what it means in our minds. ‘Oh look, look, I’m a klux klan, I have no idea which one! Don’t judge me. There’s all kinds of klux klans.’”

Colbert then hit Trump over the president's criticism of "globalists."

“He does realize America is on the globe, right?" Colbert asked, before mocking Trump as someone who wouldn't care about global warming until it's described as "America warming."

Colbert's comments came just a day after Trump declared himself a "nationalist" during a campaign rally in Houston, Texas while railing against "globalists" who care more about the world's well-being than America's. He doubled down a day later when asked about his embrace of the term, saying that he was "absolutely" one and that he was proud of it.

"I’m somebody that loves our country," he said, adding that he's never heard of the term having racial undertones.

White nationalist groups helped organized the protests that turned deadly in Charlottesville, Va. in August 2017. The demonstrations were aimed at protesting against the removal of Confederate statues, but several news outlets have reported on neo-Nazis and other racist groups attending the rally.

Trump drew intense scrutiny at the time for his comments about the events after he described some of the rally attendees as "very fine people."

Asked in the Oval Office on Tuesday why he used that word given its association with racist movements, Mr. Trump professed ignorance of its history but did not back off. “I never heard that theory about being a nationalist,” he said. “I’ve heard them all. But I’m somebody who loves our country.” Undaunted, he added: “I am a nationalist. It’s a word that hasn’t been used too much. Some people use it, but I’m very proud. I think it should be brought back.”

There is a reason other presidents generally do not use that word about themselves. Typically, the term “nationalist” is employed by the United States government to describe political figures and forces in other countries that sometimes represent a threat. When used domestically, it is a word often tainted with the whiff of extremism, not least because a variant of it, white nationalist, describes racist leaders and groups. American politicians traditionally stick with the safer term “patriot.”

Analysis | Trump’s embrace of a fraught term — ‘nationalist’ — could cement a dangerous racial divide

Trump is merely pandering to his white base using terms like 'nationalist'

Trump has to appeal to the emotion & the fear of the electorate.

That is what Trump does; he appeals to the emotion & fear of the voter because Trump knows the voters are sheep.

America is the current version of 1930s Germany.

If the Dems has anything real on Trump, they’d use it. Instead they have to resort to innuendo and fear mongering against a President who puts America First. He’s the President of the USA, not the world and his job is to make life better for Americans not everyone else.

Sure, the OP contained that link but I provided a WaPo link in post #5 too.

Every media outlet in the universe has covered the Trump/nationalist comment.

If you didn't hear about it from somewhere beside the OP link, then you might live in a cave.

How can I possibly be trolling a troll thread?

The premise of your thread is not anything productive, it isn't to have an itelligent conversation, it is propaganda, it is ignorant, and it is to troll and enrage folks that support that president.

It is, prima facie wrong.


There are many types of nationalism, this is a fact.

Trump's nationalism includes all Americans. Stop posting propaganda meant to troll the board, and I won't troll you, fair?

Trump's real record on race may surprise you

But there is nothing wrong with a little patriotism.

It is globalism you need to fear. These global socialists will have your soul enslaved and they won't give a damn about you serf.

The closer your government is to your home, the more power your city has, as opposed to some far off capital, the better off your family and friends are.

UN-elected, unaccountable bureaucrats in some far off city do not give a shit about you. Your friends and neighbors that are in government that live in the same city and town as you? They will care about the affects of their policies because it will affect them too.

THAT is why nationalism and patriotism matter. That is why smaller governments and confederated and federated governments are better than monolithic leviathan governments beholden to banking cartels.
