That will Donald Trump have, He has damaged right -wing populism in Europe and democracies around the world. Several national elections and countless polls show that Trump is dominating world politics now. Of course, some feel encouraged, but most voters in democratic countries, on the contrary, seem to have woken up by a hibernation and get up.
The threat is suddenly real. The entire liberal world order is in danger. Then voters say.
Mark Carney should not be prime minister in Canada. He normally wouldn’t even have become a party leader after Justin Trudeau resigned just a few months ago. The liberal party was so unpopular and far down that the conservative, led by right -wing populist Pierre Poilievre, had long since collected the victory.
But then Donald Trump came to the rescue. With its incomprehensible outcomes against a close ally and neighbor. He said he wanted to annex this small Filleland in the north, which would not survive without the United States. He called the Prime Minister the Governor and said that Canada “has nothing we need”.
Then the bow and boycott began.
The only reason Mark Carney today is on a state visit to Donald Trump as newly elected prime minister in Canada is Donald Trump. The Canadians are furious and bloody offended. They are also scared. For all reason. The economy was already fragile, now they are preparing for Ragnarokk. Therefore, they chose a man who has been governor of both Canada and the United Kingdom and who is referred to as a super smart, but dull and gray bureaucrat.
It’s not time For experiments now.
It missed us
Poor populist Pierre. He had been playing with Trumpism and anti-woke and even received some greetings from Mar-A-Lago. Like Canada’s mini-trump, no matter how unfair it was, he had no chance. The earthquake in Canadian politics is considered historically and is attributed to Trump alone and alone.
The choice was just about Trump.
So did it on The other side of the globe last week, in Australia, where the sitting prime minister, Social Democratic Anthony Albanese, was re -elected to all odds. Again it is described as a historical victory that would not have happened without Trump. The liberal-conservatives were able to win, but the progress was due to the party having settled on a Trumpian populist line that was popular as long as Australian voters had not seen the original in action. Now they found out that this is not what we want. And we don’t like people who think Donald is cool.
In both elections, everything was about Trump, and how he shaken the world during his first hundred days. There is no other explanation of the sudden and violent mood in two major democracies on each side of the earth. It is also shown in countless polls in Europe. In the AP’s resurrection from the dead.
The Trump effect is particularly noticeable in Europe. Because Europe, unlike the Trump regime, has settled with its close fascist history. We do not jerk about the rule of law and do not easily take on international obligations. We have seen the head of fascism touch itself in the EU, and how it can threaten a large country like Poland. In Europe, unlike Trump, we do not think that Viktor Orban is one of today’s great leaders.
Is the possible we have slept In the hour again? In any case, we have not been able to handle the emerging right -wing radicalism, shows the largest countries, the UK, France and Germany. The British were even tricked into leaving the EU by a right -wing movement, a catastrophic economic decision that a growing majority regrets.
But who had thought it was an American president to wake us up?
The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, struggled with lower support than his party, Labor. He was perceived as stiff and loud, a little gray he and, at a time when British voters are still in the wild after Brexit and longing to make Britain Great Again. But Keir Starmer used Trump’s attack on Europe to take on a leadership role in the support of Ukraine, while also caring for the special relationship between the UK and the United States. After the famous meeting of the White House, where Starrer shamelessly has been vibrated with Trump by offering him an audience with King Charles, the popularity of the weather shot.
At the same time, the Brexit party of Trump-friend Nigel Farage fired in several local elections a few days ago. The fragmented political landscape in the UK does not seem ready for a struggle for Brexit and a new approach to Europe, as Starmer is interpreted as desire. Besides, is it not that Trump hates the EU and likes the UK broke out? There is a new struggle for the British soul and belonging.
Trump overshadows everything.

In Denmark, of course, tough Mette Frederiksen rises in popularity. Her resolute handling of the Greenland crisis receives national praise. The Danes have ended the ranks. It does not hurt that Trump negatively referred to her as “a little nice woman”. The latest Danes will for the prime minister to be nice to Trump.
In Norway it is the opposite. We are all betting that Donald Trump likes us and draws a sigh of relief after the White House meeting. Although it is highly unclear what we got out of it, he at least did not mention Svalbard. He hinted about the Peace Prize, but he did not demand it. The polls in Norway show the same trend as in many other countries, voters apply to experienced politicians they believe can handle Trump best.
It is not free that it has been joked that the coup attempt against Jonas Gahr Støre should have succeeded, and that it was Tonje Brenna and Trygve Slagsvold Vedum who had sat there on the yellow couch. Apart from that invitation had never come, I think it is the recognition that has dropped in many voters, both in Norway, the rest of Europe and around the world.
Now it’s serious. We need experienced people on deck to sleep well at night.
It probably also means that more voters have caught their eye that Elon Musk with chainsaw is not the solution to problems all welfare states and bureaucrats are struggling with. Or that it is a good idea with “actionable” leaders who gather all power with them.
It can almost seem that Trump’s brutal behavior has led to a democratic awakening.
Thursday 8 May it is 80 years ago There was peace in Europe after World War II. We still remember Europeans, whether for their own part, or through parents and grandparents. It’s so close. Fortunately, that consciousness is still a democratic bulk against fascism and tyranny and a policy that appeals to the worst in humans.
But it is possible it took a reality star to recognize it in 2025.
