The Trump movement has built strong ties with Europe's rising ultranationalist and populist forces, which now hope to capitalize on his success.

Summary

European far-right leaders celebrated Donald Trump’s election victory, seeing him as an ally who shares their anti-immigration and authoritarian views.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a close Trump associate, promised “big plans” in partnership with the U.S. leader, likely involving hardline stances on immigration and cultural issues.

Leaders like Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Germany’s AfD also voiced support, aligning with Trump’s opposition to “woke” and progressive values.

Experts warn this alliance could embolden right-wing policies across Europe, with Orbán potentially acting as a key link between Trump and Europe’s far-right bloc.

      It’s fine, most of the good stuff needs basic literacy to operate.

        That’s a nice fantasy, fascists being incapable of reading and therefore incapable of invading other countries and killing people.

        I would suggest you do not read a history book if you value the peace of mind that comes with that belief.

          I lived in the south, they can’t read.

          They can invade, but that won’t go well for them, they’re basically Russians doing stupid human wave attacks.

              Btw, you do realize that’s the whole reason the worthless inbred defective trash lost the civil war in the first place right?

              It was a blowout, they fought hard in the beginning, but once … you know, basic industry came around, they were just brain-dead monkeys getting fed into a woodchipper.

              We made this shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Monitor

              They had 1 ironworks for the whole south, and thought starting a war was a good idea, they couldn’t make rolling stock, and when Sherman made his railroad neckties, that was it for them, they were done.

              You can’t possibly imagine how unimaginably backwards they are, they literally live hundreds of years in the past if it weren’t for us giving them all their technology, their universities are a joke in comparison, if you can call them universities.

              It wouldn’t be a war, it would barely be pest control.
