Summary

Donald Trump’s influence on global right-wing politics is waning as his association increasingly becomes a political liability.

In the UK, Nigel Farage’s popularity has dropped, with 53% of Reform Party supporters now viewing Trump unfavorably. This shift undermines Farage’s chances of political success.

Internationally, leaders like Canada’s Pierre Poilievre and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni are distancing themselves from Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump’s economic promises have faltered, with US growth forecasts down and stock markets struggling.

The fading appeal of Trumpism marks the end of his ideological hold on Westminster politics.

    I just don’t get it. He could have used the Defense Production Act to lower prices of eggs and he would have been a HERO to the working class idiots that voted for him. He would have ensured that no Democrat ever wins another election. Instead he was like, “Y’all are about to be poor for awhile while I do the dumbest shit you’ve ever seen. Watch this shit. Fuck your egg prices, I’m going to pretend to steal Canada, Greenland, and Panama City Beach or some shit.”

      That’s assuming he’s even considering that there will be future elections. Or at least elections in which the oligarchs have a chance of losing (I’m still betting Trump plans on living forever and never ceding power because narcissist).

          They did not imply that there won’t be future elections; they suggested Trump believes there won’t be. It’s a pretty likely possibility, the man is a narcissist who idolizes autocrats
