The “Make America Great Again” roadshow arrived in Europe this week with events in two nations where American conservatives see prime opportunities for a new transatlantic political culture – one molded by Donald Trump’s right-wing populism and imbued with grand “clash of civilizations” rhetoric.

The Conservative Political Action Conference – CPAC – opened its week of European events on Tuesday in Jasionka, Poland, where Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was among the speakers, urging Poles to vote for right-wing presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki in this weekend’s runoff election.

Noem eschewed the diplomatic norm of non-alignment in elections in allied nations, as have other administration officials including JD Vance. “You will be the leaders that will turn Europe back to conservative values,” she told attendees in Jasionka.

    Fuck these motherfuckers. They should not be given any diplomatic status. They should be treated as hostile foreign agents.

      FFS, USA will not allow diplomats in that have said anything negative about Trumpf on socials. It is about time that Europe retaliates. If governments would officially qualify USA as a fascist country, VISA could be declined more easily.

    I feel so sorry for those in Europe that are about to get a visit from America’s garbage…If only that sniper had never missed on that fateful day when Trump was still on the campaign trail, the world would’ve been different. I say this as an American who is deeply disappointed by his fellow citizens.
