It's not one or the other.
There are clearly people who don't care much for this country and working to change it significantly.
There are clearly people on the other end of that spectrum.
Then there is Trump, whose "patriotism" is a cynical act to keep his "base" happy.
He plays the game because knows where his bread is buttered.

No it is not a cynical act. You just can't stand him as he doesn't apologize for his support of our military, police, and our history.
He actually doesn't hide his patriotism as expected by the libtarded left. He actually believes in American exceptionalism which the left hates.
And apparently you hate the idea of American exceptionalism too.
