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.

      It’s weird, because there’s inarguably been a ‘vibe shift’ away from the more authoritarian side of progressive ideas and politics, and for a while it seemed the backlash was unstoppable and far-right. I hope we are starting to see a ‘vibe shift’ away from the extremes of the right, too. It can’t be healthy for a society to swing from one extreme to the other. I suppose social media, and the difficulty with communicating nuance on such platforms is partly, maybe wholly, to blame.

      Yes, thanks America. You’re finally up on the cross with the best of them.

      (I’m sorry this is happening to you, OP)

      That’s, frankly, copium. Give them a few years and they’ll be even stronger than they are now as liberals all over screw up.
