Trump is about as Republican as you can get.

He's a member of that party, ain't he?

The Donald's patriotism extends as far as his own pockets and his over inflated ego.

I think that could easily describe the level of patriotism for the multitudes on Capitol Hill...

Trump is not Hillary. That's ALL that mattered to most of the folks who voted for him. LOL

He claims victory, even when he looses.
He is an egotist, stating that EVERYTHING he does is the BEST, GREATEST, HUGE etc.
He pledges many vast charitable contributions, fails to donate on most, yet continues to claim those contributions.
He claims vast wealth (beyond what is the general consensus) due to being a "great businessman" and using "the art of the deal", yet refuses to show proof. Even after promising to do so.
He has a history of repeating lies over and over till some perceive them as truth.
He uses backroom deals even if its not ethical, often to benefit himself or his family "brand".
He preys on peoples fears and prejudices.
He takes from the poor to give to the rich.
He makes statements on twitter, video and audio, then denies saying it.
And ALWAYS claims that he is the smartest person in the room, without knowing if that is factual.
I don't think these are the qualities that either republicans or democrats aspire to.
Well said.

What evidence do you have that "Trump is a patriot"?

Is it the colluding with enemies of the U.S., trying desperately to erode democracy, rule of law and free press, destroying our alliances, disparaging all Americans who aren't white and uneducated, making all his crap in third world hellholes, evading the draft and criticizing war heros and war dead? What, exactly led you to this crazy claim?

I mean, seriously, claiming Trump is a "U.S. patriot" is pretty far down the rabbit hole of delusion. Maybe a Russian patriot, but he's pretty clearly an enemy of America.
