Yes, it is Globalism, but consider the history of Europe. Two World Wars devastated much of Europe, and killed millions of their citizens. Also, many European countries are the sizes of U.S. states and some are much smaller. I could see Europe having a European Union government where countries act more like states. I am NOT recommending that, but I could see where they may gravitate towards that model. That being said, Europe has wrongly moved towards socialism, and for whatever reason continues to import Muslim refugees which is changing their culture for the worse. Maybe a European government would curtail that, but I doubt it.

It is when you have people in our government that put our needs last and put everybody else around the world's first and act like they are entitled to our tax dollars

Wouldn’t know. I’m neither a Trump nor a globalism supporter.

Tell Trump to stop increasing the military budget. "Nationalist" policies are expensive $$$. If it were up to me, we'd end foreign intervention and invest in domestic infrastructure. That goes for Obama too.

Are you kidding me? Obama slashed the military budget to almost nothing and now we barely have a military

Then they would not be talking about the men & women that voted for Trump to be OUR President, offended by the G word.

What's more patriotic: endless foreign intervention, or spending that money on infrastructure and healthcare in our country. Obama was too hawkish, Syria, Libya, etc. None of that should've happened.

I know, and he didn't mince words, he said it to Trump's face instead of tweeting it.

This is all very strange to me, because according to Merriam-Webster, the synonym for Patriotism is Nationalism.

Macron says they are antonyms, Webster says they are synonyms. I wonder who is correct.

Are we trying to change established definitions because Donald Trump said he is a nationalist? If Trump said it, it must be bad, right?
