One might argue that claiming to be a patriot while supporting Donald Trump is akin to claiming to be a vegetarian while munching on a cheeseburger.
It's a curious form of patriotism, reminiscent of cheering for the iceberg while aboard the Titanic. After all, what says "I love my country" more than championing a man who seems to treat the Constitution as mere suggestion cards for his golf game?
From his flagrant disregard for democratic norms to his cozying up to dictators like a cat to a warm radiator, supporting Trump seems less like pledging allegiance to the United States and more like auditioning for a reality TV show titled "America's Got Autocrats."
But hey, if your idea of patriotism includes destabilizing global alliances faster than you can say "covfefe," then by all means, wave that flag high – just watch out for the burning embers of our constitution.
