It's patriotism, we should be proud our country has a company that is doing this. Donald Trump has nothing to do with it.

Patriotism is offensive iff it becomes jingoistic or if it comes at the expense of a global humanistic perspective.

The chanting seems a bit over the top, especially for a private company mission to serve the International Space Station.

Patriotism is also offensive if, when politely questioned, it leads to knee-jerk reactions. It has the potential to become just another source of unnecessary emotional conflict and short-circuited thinking.
