Reaction to Trump nomination from US’s Western allies UPDATE:Renzi weighs in too

It amazes me how many Americans want to cut the their own legs off in order to spite the rest of the world. Nationalism is a poison.

I really doubt many people are voting for Trump just to mess with the rest of the world.

Nationalism is a great thing. It just doesn't mix too well with globalism. I would prefer it if the US had no allies - no obligations to other countries - due to how little the rest of the world could do (relatively) for us.

If you are a nationalist you should stop calling yourself a left-winger. Nationalism is selling-out the international working-class to the elite for the sake of some miserable lines on a map.

I've seen it a lot. People like "screw the rest of the world, we're America". Even Sanders supporters which is grim.

That may be true (I personally don't know many Trump supporters), but seems to me that they are more in favor of America first rather than "screw the rest of the world", which is a side effect they are willing to accept.
