Why should we be proud of what Trump has turned this country into? I'm not a commie Dem, but I sure as hell am not proud of having somebody like him in the White House. He's a disgrace. Look at how at least a third of our country are cheering on actions by the border patrol and their treatment of immigrants in their custody. It's egregious. So no, I'm not proud of what this country has become, and I'm not sure it can recover.
What do you want him to do? Start a nuclear war? Would that make you happy?
Of course not. But his antics aren't doing anything. Kim will never denuclearize, and smart people know that. Trump is a reality tv personality and everything he does is for ratings. Period.

“The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”
Sydney J. Harris
Scientific success? Can't be the Republicans whose connection to science ended in the 1980s. They love their scientific ignorance.
I was extremely proud of this country when we elected President Obama. I was still proud of this country when we reelected him. Ever since 2016 I have not been proud of what this country has become. I would still be proud if any other of the respectable GOP candidates like John Kasich or even Marco Rubio won the election.

That is hardly the definition but whatevers. Nationalism is putting our countries interests above all others. Ya know, like not letting in unlimited illegals.
No you're wrong! People are waking up-to the horror of the Trump regime!!
Sure hope so. We have got to do better.
