Trump's election results and Iran policy are creating dissatisfaction among his right-wing allies in Europe.
Mujtaba Rahman, General Manager of political risk consultancy company Eurasia Group, stated that European far-rightists are moving away from Trump for clear political gain.
In his statement to the Reuters agency, Rahman warned, "Trump's increasing loss of popularity, especially due to the high cost of living, risks turning this situation, which was once a political advantage, into a burden in terms of elections."
Stating that far-right leaders want to both benefit from the ideological wind of Trumpism and stay away from the chaos and economic destruction created by his presidency, Rahman said that the process carries other risks.
“The risk is that Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again Movement) allies, who see the European far-right as ideological partners in the fight against the European establishment, may respond by withdrawing their political support or even turning against them,” Rahman said.
Dan Dungaciu, Vice President of the hard right-wing opposition Alliance of Romanians in Romania, was one of the few people who downplayed the extent of the Republicans' defeat.
Arguing that the news about Trump's "political death" is greatly exaggerated, Dungaciu shared the view that "Donald Trump does not automatically turn into a weak president. Instead, he is moving from a presidency supported by Republican majorities to a period in which the executive and Congress will supervise each other much more intensely."
Santiago Abascal, the leader of the far-right Vox party in Spain, left behind the alliance he boasted about in the past with Trump and the MAGA movement and revealed his stance harshly.
Abascal, who told reporters that he was in Spain, not Michigan, said, "I don't really care what happens in other places."
Rupert Lowe, leader of the far-right Restore Britain party in England, cited the decision to attack Iran as the main reason for the Republicans' defeat and described the decision as a "catastrophic mistake".
Lowe, who did not mention the name of the US President who started the war in his post on social media platform X, published the message "What did this war gain? Absolutely nothing of value."
Nigel Farage, leader of the right-wing populist Reform UK party, admitted in a statement on Wednesday that the elections were a "complete defeat" for Republicans.
Farage, who frequently expressed his friendship with the US President and visited the White House last year, stated to GB News that there was a potential for separation between Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Farage concluded his words as follows:
"Apparently a lot of young men who voted for Trump in 2024 and follow all kinds of right-wing social media influencers voted Democrat yesterday. This was a punitive lesson, I think, in large part due to the war, the extended war in Iran, and the cost of fuel."
