#Patriotism is not obedience to #government. Patriotism is obedience to the principles for which government is supposed to stand.

No one has done more to break up the postwar global system in the last couple of years than Mr. #Trump and Mr. Putin. As the anniversary of the armistice that ended #WorldWarI was commemorated on Sunday, Mr. Trump’s brand of 'America First' nationalism was rebuked from the podium while he sat stone-faced and unmoved, alienated from some of #America’s strongest allies, including his French hosts.

So a ceremony meant to celebrate the ties that bind the world today in effect showcased the divisions that are pulling it apart. ' #Patriotism is the exact opposite of #nationalism,' President #EmmanuelMacron of #France said in a speech at the Arc de Triomphe, welcoming the leaders and extolling an old system now under siege. Mr. Trump, who recently declared himself 'a #nationalist,' appeared grim as he listened to the speech through an earpiece and clapped only tepidly afterward.

Scores of presidents, prime ministers and other dignitaries from around the world gathered under the Arc de Triomphe in a somber and rain-drenched ceremony Sunday to mark the centennial of the Armistice that ended #WorldWarI. Although #Trump was in attendance in Paris in a show of solidarity, on a profound level, #EmmanuelMacron’s speech could be taken as a rebuke of the combustible American president who in the recent midterm congressional election campaign declared himself a proud ' #nationalist.'

'This vision of #France as a generous nation, of France as a project, of France as the bearer of universal values was displayed during these dark hours, as the very opposite of a selfish nation that only looks after its own interest,' Macron said, ' #Patriotism is the opposite of #nationalism.' Trump, who came under sharp criticism for skipping a visit to an American war cemetery on Saturday - the White House said the rainy weather prevented his helicopter from taking off.
