Nationalism takes many forms....Heil!
The Founding Fathers engaged in Nationalism.
The Civil War was fought in large part over Nationalistic principles.
American Expansionism in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries was motivated in large part by America -centric Nationalism.
The Keep-America-Out-of-the-War movements of the 1914-1917 and 1939-1941 eras were motivated in large part by America -centric Nationalism.
Any time that America engages in Protectionism through the use of tariffs it is in accordance with American Nationalistic principles.
The common-sense insistence upon Border Integrity and National Sovereignty are motivated entirely by America -centric Nationalism.
Nationalism takes a wide variety of forms with a wide variety of acceptance or rejection and successes and failures which may be attributed to its variants.
Your simple-simon reliance upon one form of Foreign Nationalism in Extremis is unworthy of serious consideration.
