In Texas, Trump proudly declares he's a 'nationalist,' rails against 'globalists'
At a rally in Houston Monday night, President Trump declared he's a "nationalist," and urged his supporters to "use that word."
Trump was in Texas to campaign for Sen. Ted Cruz (R), who is running against Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke. "You know, they have a word, it sort of became old-fashioned," Trump said. "It's called a nationalist. And I say, 'Really? We're not supposed to use that word.' You know what I am? I'm a nationalist. Okay? I'm a nationalist." As the crowd cheered him on, Trump said, "use that word. Use that word."
