Puigdemont has worked this very well.
To be perfectly honest I don't see how or why you would hold those 3 opinions as to me they appear somewhat contradictory, both Trumpism and Brexit feel like people attaching far more importance to their own wealth and wellbeing than the good of the community/world at large. Catalan independence, from what little knowledge I have, seems to have much of the same motivation.

It's depressing how many people I know who are
Seems other people's nationalism can be exotic.
The Catalan president has gamed this very well. If the Spanish government had been smarter, the Catalan nationalists would have had an illegal referendum that more than half the population boycotted because they didn't want it or see it as valid. Now the story, as largely seen from outside Spain, is plucky oppressed people facing down brutal centralist government.
