you can thank Trump for ruining the populist first wave in Europe.
How do you figure.
Lot of people in Europe looked at the chaos in the US after a populist won and were rattled by all the shit going down. Even Macron's campaign combined La Pen and Trump and had the slogan "Don't get Trumped"
It ended up hurting her in the end. Everyone was talking about Trump in one way or another, and it was suddenly a liability, not an advantage. Even in the Dutch elections with Geert Wilders ripping his slogan direction from Trump "Let's Make the Netherlands Ours Again" was hoping the populist wave would capture his people. It didn't.
Europeans aren't too keen on someone saying the media is the enemy of the people, along with other dictator tier rhetoric Trump has spewed in office.
That's not to say populism or its movement is dead, it's not. Far from it. In fact they do raise some valid points. But as of right now it's sort of died down from what we've seen unless we see something shocking come the German elections.
So Trump is pulling the USA out of the Paris Accords
