The echoes of Brexit have reverberated across the Atlantic, making the recent defeat of Kamala Harris and her Democratic cohorts look all too familiar. Just as Brexit laid the groundwork for Donald Trump’s triumph in 2016, the turmoil among globalist leaders in Europe has set the stage for a Trump comeback, underscoring the warmth of Trumpism as it kindles populist fervor that’s rapidly spreading abroad. With Trump on the verge of reclaiming the White House, the weakening of international globalist strongholds is a trend that could make the 2024 election as entertaining as a game of chess played with firecrackers.
With Trump’s first term, he faced an onslaught not just from domestic foes like the Democrats and their deep state allies, but also from entrenched European leaders, who were eager to preserve their globalist playground. Fast forward eight years, and the landscape has shifted—leaders like France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Olaf Scholz are caught in their own political disasters, proving that you can’t build a house of cards without eventually watching it all come crashing down.
Take a look at Macron, for instance. He’s still searching for a lifeline after facing defeats that would send most politicians packing. With Paris’s politics in turmoil following losses to Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, the man is clawing at straws, hoping to achieve some international credibility while drowning in domestic debt. His zeal to be seen as a peacemaker, particularly in the Ukraine conflict, reeks of desperation rather than genuine leadership. Yet, if he thinks he can ride on Trump’s coattails to salvage his presidency, he might just find it’s a wild ride filled with more than a few bumps.
Across the border in Germany, Scholz is staring down the barrel of political mayhem. The recent terror attacks have left the nation uneasy, and with his government crumbling faster than a cheap deck chair on the beach, the Chancellery is bound to see dramatic shifts. Once helmed by Angela Merkel, Germany’s future leadership looks bleak. What is left to salvage? A mixture of confusion and desperation, where open borders and economic decline are the orders of the day. Trump is surely licking his lips at the thought of tapping into Germany’s vulnerabilities in a trade war that could have the exciting air of a wrestling match at a high school gym.
In Great Britain, the Conservative Party has practically waved its white flag while Labour flexes its muscles, only to reveal it’s still firmly entrenched in globalism. With insults directed at Trump and a distaste for all things MAGA, they may be setting themselves up for a rude awakening as they figure out how to negotiate with a man who doesn’t play nice. The new Labour government will have to smooth over their various faux pas to even contemplate a trade deal. Good luck trying to do that while balancing a budget that’s got more leaks than the Titanic.
2024: The Year Trumpism Triumphed and Put Globalists on the Run in Europehttps://t.co/DTIYXDo1Ie

Meanwhile, Brussels and the EU are bracing for the notion that the tides may be shifting in favor of populism, with parties gaining strength amidst the noise of whispers against the unwarranted power grabs of their leaders. Ursula von der Leyen might call herself the queen of the EU, but with leaders like Viktor Orbán and Geert Wilders making waves, there’s a feeling that she could soon be facing a few rough waters of her own. The alliance of key players rallying under the banners of nationalism and self-determination is gaining traction, proving that Trump’s influence, while international, might just have the power to wake up lethargic political establishments on both sides of the pond.
In short, the stage is set for a grand comeback—one that harkens back to an old saying: when one door closes, another one swings wide open. The globalists seem as if they’re ready for a center stage performance much to their chagrin. Trump’s upcoming return may very well seize the moment, as self-determination and a “make it great” ethos find eager audiences hungry for something other than highfalutin globalist rhetoric. As the chess pieces are rearranging, one cannot help but wonder just how amusing the upcoming political spectacle will be.
