Donald Trump's defeat in the American elections has forced several European politicians, who had previously publicly aligned themselves with him, to seek a more cautious distance. At the same time, they are trying to preserve his support in case Trump remains a significant figure in American politics. SITA ↗
New assessments point to similarities between the political trajectories of Donald Trump and Andrej Babiš. According to commentaries, both relied on personal popularity, political marketing, and mobilizing voters around their own persona. However, their recent electoral setbacks revealed the limits of a strategy based on the belief that a strong personality can overshadow all other problems. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Trump's result is also changing the tone among European right-wing politicians. Before the election, they were photographed with him and presented his success as a harbinger of a political shift in Europe. After the Republicans' defeat, however, some of them began emphasizing greater political independence and are gradually distancing themselves from Trump. reflex.cz ↗
A different stance continues to be held by the circle around Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He remains one of the most prominent European defenders of the defeated American leader, although according to new commentaries, even his biggest American supporter has begun to distance himself from Trump.

Further developments will show whether European right-wing politicians will genuinely reassess their ties to Trump or merely temporarily adjust their public rhetoric. His electoral failure also undermines the notion that the American political model can simply be transplanted into the European environment.
