Sunday Reflection -- Nationalism




"Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying our interests first, who cares about the others, we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great and what is essential: its moral values." -- French President Emmanuel Macron today at a ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe marking the 100- year anniversary of the end of World War I, in a direct rebuke of self- proclaimed nationalist and all- proclaimed dolt Donald "Rump" Trump, who was in attendance along with world leaders. (Rump thought bubble: "'Moral values?' Those are for losers!")

And Macron did it without an umbrella, which I'm sure was looked upon as partly a rebuke of Rump.

Diva - you're quite right! What an embarrassment to our country to have that ignorant lout representing us.
