Trump has been an explicit supporter of Russian business interests for a lot longer than he has been involved in politics: this is not a conspiracy theory, or is a statement of fact.
Be wary of making such generalisations about nationalism, even in the global south. Like I said, I have personal experience of Latin American nationalists partaking in racially motivated violence against indigenous people, and so therefore very much opposed to internationalism.

Trump being a Russian ally is a conspiracy theory, and is used to justify pushing problems from the US onto Russia. Trump’s problems and interests are of American origin. As for Nationalism in the global south, it’s necessarily an oversimplification. Trade unions can also be violently racist, it’s wrong but not indicative of trade unions being wrong. And for indigenous peoples, they are the ones whose nationalism would be progressive, not the nationalism of those not indigenous.
