The Guardian | Europe’s ‘mini-Trumps’ survived his fall. Now they’re hoping for his comeback

“When Donald Trump lost the White House in 2020, Europe’s strongmen, populists and climate change deniers lost a powerful ally and a protector. Yet most of Europe’s mini-Trumps have survived his fall, his denial of defeat and the storming of Congress by his supporters, and are now hoping that a comeback for the Republican frontrunner in next year’s US presidential election will put fresh wind in their own sails,” writes Paul Taylor, Senior Fellow for Peace, Security & Defence at Friends of Europe, in an opinion piece published by The Guardian.
