In that sense, excessive individualism may be our undoing.
it's definitely possible.

The answer is no.
Period.
Trump doesn't have the capacity to understand it. He doesn't have a glimmer of appreciation of the history which would help him understand it. He has lived 72 years without being inconvenienced by historical perspective and it's too late for him to start now.
Amusing how globalist try to smear nationalism and patriotism while at the same time trying to tell us they are not the same.
Gee I"d LICK TO KNOW THE FREEDOMSThey are not. There is a difference between the pride I have in US institutions and our contributions to human freedom, and the America uber alles approach of folks like Trump.

At WWI ceremony, world warned ‘old demons’ rising
Paris-
As Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and dozens of other heads of state and government listened in silence, French President Emmanuel Macron used the occasion, as its host, to sound a powerful and sobering warning about the fragility of peace and the dangers of nationalism and of nations that put themselves first, above the collective good.
“The old demons are rising again, ready to complete their task of chaos and of death,” Macron said.
“Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” he said.

I really wonder if Trump understands the implications of declaring himself to be a nationalist. How many tens of millions dies in those 2 wars & those that followed it, like Vietnam?

Nationalism is so reminiscent of Nazi Germany. It's a "we're better than you attitude".

Nationalism won the world wars, too.
Agree. Should America have just minded it's own business in WWI?
