Nationalism, nativism, same thing.
Nativists are afraid of any culture but their own. There are a lot of nativists in America, and not an insignificant number on Free Republic.

Nationalism is a dangerous thing. It is elevation of "nation" above all else.
We have a constitutional republic. That constitutional system is elevated above all the flag waving, patriotic music, speeches, and pro-America emotionalism that a demagogue preaching nationalism can dish out.
After all, national socialism was extremely nationalistic about pre-war Germany.
I think that's what the president meant, and I agree with him.
