These terms keep changing or at least they are applied to different things. In the case of Trump, populism is the word. And it describes a politician who says what the people want to hear. And here is the new part. He actually tries to enact it, when he gets into office.

Socialism, seems to be a collective of government workers and press and politicians who are trying to stay in power by giving gifts of government to the lower two thirds in hope of winning elections and keep the employment with pension plans and good wages for the government workers.

The reality is that socialism tries to collect the spoils of law making and taxes and spread it, in exchange for votes to a majority of the people.

Populism is different. Its not really that self serving. The populist gets elected by listening to the people and parroting back what he hears. Then if he governs the way that the people requested, he gets to stay in office. If not, a new politician is elected.

Nationalism Vs. Socialism

Sorry, didn't watch the video but I'll take an extra-large helping of Nationalism please, thank you very much.

Of course if you pronounce that word using a sinister tone like Mark Levin does you end up running away with your tail between your legs like all (R)epublicrat cowards do, except for Trump, Bannon, Gorka, Sessions and the great Stephen Miller.

But the Federalist Papers are chock full of treatises praising the virtues of a united nation, the root word of nationalism ( lots of talk of Tariffs in there and the Constitution too, Levin ). Open Borders are just the latest in a long line of attacks on the very concept of a nation put forth by the globalist enemy cabal that currently inhabits our District Of Criminals wearing (D) and (R) uniparty lapels on their custom tailored, taxpayer funded suits.

The use of National-Socialist (NAZI) as an attempted disparagement of pure-American nationalism is an easily refuted slander. Both the German/Austrian/Italian Fascists and the Soviet Communists were socialists, period. And any description of the Nazis as Nationalist literally falls apart once they annexed Austria, and took Czechoslovakia, and Poland, and France and ... etc.

They were both fully inter-nationalist Socialists, their aim was spreading their quasi-Marxist views far and wide, at gunpoint, and in death camps. They fully implemented Convert or Die as an operating principle just as thoroughly as the Islam death cult. So much so that today they are joined at the hip as globalist Islamo-Commies embedded throughout the world.

Post World War II the western academics had a real mess on their hands, trying to figure out a way to rescue their beloved Socialism from the memories of Hitler and Stalin who had already managed to kill tens of millions even before Mao came along and raised the ante substantially. That's how we got to the full scale indoctrination in public schools with their elaborate definitions of 'means of production' and 'private property and other shiny things to distract from the common denominator of death camps and firing squads.

So yup, I'll take me some plain old American Nationalism with a side order of a Great Big Wall any day of the week.
