Can’t say that any of those things you listed someone should be ashamed of, but maybe not proud of them either.

Fwiw, Trump either genuinely believes he’s done nothing wrong, or he needs his fans to believe it, so him saying this kinda tracks.

I guess there’s a reason pride is a deadly sin

I get your point but I don’t think anyone should be ashamed where they’re from, per se. I have no power over where I’m born.

This is literally the only reason he didn’t use “strongly”.

Does that mean you can’t be proud to be black, proud to be gay etc as well?
