IIRC, he made similar comments early in his first term, about how Americans think our country is the best, in the same fashion as Brits think theirs is the best, et al.

Clearly, he does not believe in American exceptionalism, nor does he exhibit any measure of “love of country”.
The ingrate didn’t grow up here and he was raised by anti-American liberal parents.
