The fundamental problem behind this question is the concept that patriotism is a San Francisco 49ers Football Team 49ers NFL T Shirt thing. Patriotism as implied by this question seems to mean blind obedience to an idea, specifically of putting country ahead of other things to which we might owe loyalty or in which we might place our trust and value. It is the same with anything else that we might choose to elevate above our responsibility to care for nurture and enhance the wellbeing of our fellow human beings. Any time things get put ahead of people we run into trouble, whether it be country, flag, money, guns, religion, politics, food, drugs and alcohol, success, material possessions etc. Patriotism is a fine way to separate the world into ‘them’ and ‘us’ and justify treating others as threatening to us and therefore dangerous and disposable. It is a fantastic way for old, entrenched, privileged people to get younger men and women killing each other to preserve or enhance vested interests.

Our countries ONLY have value because of the societies we build and San Francisco 49ers Football Team 49ers NFL T Shirt in them, not because they allow the few to enrich themselves at the expense of the many (however you dress it up). In essence we want our societies to enable us to live well in peace and safety. Reading many threads on Quora I have gained the impression that those men and women who have fought for their countries in the end did it most for the men and women at their sides, and not for a flag, a ‘right’ to bear arms or to make money. Trump has never fought for anything except to enrich himself, pay back chosen enemies or make himself look good. His mind is full of mirrors, certainly not of any knowledge, understanding or empathy for anyone or anything around him, least of all his country, unless it serves his ends. His deficiencies are articulated so well by so many here, because he makes it so easy. His complete lack of respect for other people comes round to bite him. He is no patriot even were that to be important.
