President Trump and the Republican Party are not against Immigrants, Trump had stated clearly he's against Illegal Immigration, and besides the Democrats once stood on that platform too. [color=#990000 And what did you say Nationalism connoted? That's your own fictitious definition you just made up. [/color] Trump rolled back Obama's economic policies and guess what? The economy is doing brilliantly, and Obozo is still sweating trying to take credit for it. You guys should just take a pill and chill, November 6, we'll know how far.

I already explained to you what nationalism connotes. Nationalism connotes a false sense of superiority, that is what differentiates it from patriotism. This false sense of superiority often lead to break up of countries (usually through conflicts), lead to discrimination by such nationalist groups and often lead to dictatorship.
The confederates claim they were nationalists and we're pursuing a nationalist agenda.

Thought Stormy was low.

Thought Kavanaugh was the lowest.

Thought migrant caravan was their last straw.

NEVER thought libs would resort to “bomb” tactics to smear President Trump.

Dems are now the mob, plantation, & domestic terrorist, party of America.

WOW!

@NYGovCuomo
and the NYPD detectives just lied. They said a suspicious package was found at the Clinton’s residence.

That is false. The package was intercepted at a mail distribution center.

They are lying to all of us to gin up sympathy for violent Democrat politicians!

NBC Takes Megyn Kelly Off Air, Reportedly Ready to Cancel Show
“Negotiations about the end date and other details are still underway"
NBC took Megyn Kelly off the air on Thursday, the day after she apologized for her blackface remarks, as the network is reportedly on the verge of canceling her morning show.

Megyn Kelly Today viewers on Thursday morning were shown a “previously recorded” episode in which Kelly greeted the 9 a.m. audience in the opening moments by saying, “Happy Friday.”

CNN reported on Thursday morning that “Kelly’s show will be ending” and she is “unlikely” to return because “negotiations about the end date and other details are still underway.” Variety reported that Kelly and NBC had been discussing other roles for her at the network.

I purposely laid out all the definitions...but the Context of Trump's claim was based on No 1 & 3 - love of Country. Put it this way, You have a family and therefore you prioritise their interest above others, not because you hate other families but because you place more value on your Own family, that's the concept. Same thing Trump is applying to America. Whatever you think of Nationalism, it's merits and Demerits, it's the best and there's nothing wrong in wanting your country to always come out on top in various aspect.

U.S. officials concerned Trump discussing sensitive information on unsecured cellphone

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/u-s-officials-concerned-trump-discussing-sensitive-information-unsecured-cellphone-n924376

In between intimating that this week's attempted pipe-bombings targeted at Democrats were actually, really, if you think about it, kind of the fault of the media organisations and their "endless hostility", Donald Trump has been fending off accusations in a New York Times piece that security services are worried his phone calls are being tapped by Chinese and Russian intelligence services.

The report says that intelligence officials know that China is using the president's chats with his confidantes to stop a trade war escalating, and are presumed to have put together a list of people Trump speaks to regularly who could be influenced. Trump, by contrast, found the article "long and boring".

Among those on the list are Stephen A. Schwarzman, the Blackstone Group chief executive who has endowed a master’s program at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and Steve Wynn, the former Las Vegas casino magnate who used to own a lucrative property in Macau.

...by Donald Trump's own "standard, he would be disqualified from the Presidency, he really went hard on Hiliary Clinton and the Democracts when the contents of their emails are exposed in 2016...

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has President Trump at 47% approval among Registered voters, and at 45% approval among Likely voters.

It's definitely not in the bag for Dems yet.

Republicans gain ground in Texas, Nevada U.S. Senate races: poll

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-statepolls/republicans-gain-ground-in-texas-nevada-u-s-senate-races-poll-idUSKCN1MY18D


(Reuters) - Republican U.S. senators hold growing leads in key races in Texas and Nevada, a Reuters opinion poll showed, dampening Democratic hopes of taking a majority in that chamber in next month’s congressional elections.

The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Center for Politics poll released Wednesday showed a Democratic incumbent senator broadening her lead in Wisconsin, with the same parties leading competitive governors’ races in all three states.

The results follow a major victory for President Donald Trump’s Republican Party this month when the Senate confirmed his second Supreme Court nominee, cementing a conservative majority.

The poll showed Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz holding the support of 49 percent of likely Texas voters, well ahead of the 44 percent supporting Democratic U.S. Representative Beto O’Rourke. A September version of the poll had shown the two essentially even.

“There’s a structural advantage for Cruz that is amounting to five or six points,” said Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist, in a telephone interview. “This is not a purple state, this is a blood-red state.”

Democrats face steep odds in trying to capture a Senate majority in the Nov. 6 elections as they have to defend seats in 10 states that Trump won in the 2016 presidential election. Texas and Nevada are among the most competitive Senate races.

“It’s a process of the Republicans getting excited and moving into the electorate,” said Sabato.

...mid-term looking so good for Republicans...

A 56-year-old man has been arrested in Florida in connection with a mail-bombing campaign aimed at critics of President Trump.
US officials named the man as Cesar Sayoc, saying that more arrests could follow.

JUST THIS YEAR under President Trump, the U.S. has become:

The world’s most competitive economy

Energy independent

The leading exporter of oil to the world

… Why would anybody vote for Democrats who have promised to reverse all of this?

Cesar Sayoc, AKA #MAGABomber, has a long rap sheet going back to 1991 including theft, domestic violence, BOMB THREAT, battery, drug arrests & more.

If Trump is responsible then so is Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

Just to be clear folks, the media and the Left has laid down the new standards today. The new standards are -> any troubled person that acts in a deranged and criminal manner is now the responsibility of any politician or public figure they follow. This will backfire, badly.
