Sound like a swipe at the President.
“Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism: Nationalism is treason, Macron said”
So Macaroni is saying President Trump is treasonous?
I think Mr Macaroni is a tad overdone and getting mushy...

The Difference Between Nationalism, Patriotism, Sectionalism, and Jingoism
Nationalism has a number of near-synonyms, each of which carries its own distinct meaning. Patriotism is similar insofar as it emphasizes strong feelings for ones country, but it does not necessarily imply an attitude of superiority. Sectionalism resembles nationalism in its suggestion of a geopolitical group pursuing its self-interest, but the group in question is usually smaller than an entire nation. Jingoism closely resembles nationalism in suggesting feelings of cultural superiority, but unlike nationalism, it always implies military aggressiveness.
What good is patriotism if we don’t express it and fight for it? Luke warm gets spit out... .
