"You know what a globalist is? A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much," Trump said. "And you know what, we can’t have that."
The crowd began booing as Trump moved on to his preferred descriptor.
"You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It’s called a nationalist," he continued. "And I say, 'Really, we’re not supposed to use that word?' You know what I am? I'm a nationalist. ... Use that word."
So, Trump himself is calling himself a nationalist. Smearing himself?
Nationalist is not a smear when used by normal people in the proper sense of the word. It's a smear when you loons use the following bogus logic;
1. Some people are racists
2. Some people are white
3. Some people believe in Natinalism instead of Globalism.
4. There for white people are Racist White Nationalists (who believe in racial segregation).
It's not the proper useage of the word to describe those who believe a nation's social mores are diminished by citizens of one racial group or descended form immigrants form a specific region/race?
No, it's not a proper usage of the word. The left has tried to redefine it as such, but that doesn't make their definition valid.
You are in error.
The Difference Between Nationalism, Patriotism, Sectionalism, and Jingoism
Nationalism has a number of near-synonyms, each of which carries its own distinct meaning.
Patriotism is similar insofar as it emphasizes strong feelings for one’s country, but it does not necessarily imply an attitude of superiority.
Sectionalism resembles
nationalism in its suggestion of a geopolitical group pursuing its self-interest, but the group in question is usually smaller than an entire nation.
Jingoism closely resembles
nationalism in suggesting feelings of cultural superiority, but unlike
nationalism, it always implies military aggressiveness
