Europe’s Right-Wing Leaders Can’t Get Enough of Donald Trump

Jayda Fransen, the front woman for Britain First, organizes “Christian patrols” to march through predominantly Muslim neighborhoods in Great Britain, bearing crosses and railing against sharia law. “They’ve got a dead prophet who waged war and, you know, took sexual slaves,” she says of Islam’s patriarch, Muhammad. “A pedophile.” She believes wholeheartedly that Barack Hussein Obama submits to Islam: “I have no doubt in my mind that this man is a Muslim. I have no doubt in my mind.”

She also thinks Donald Trump is the future of white people in America and Europe. “I think he’s fantastic,” she says. “Vote Trump.”

Fusion’s investigative team made contact with more than a dozen leaders of white nationalist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim groups on the European continent. As excited as they are about right-wing, nativist political gains in countries like France and Germany, they saved some of their highest praise for Trump, the billionaire tycoon whose U.S. presidential run has sounded a clarion call for fed-up white folks.

“Trump has a fortune that he can be sitting on very comfortably in a remote island somewhere, without worrying about the fact that you currently have, you know, a corrupt president who in my opinion is a Muslim, but at the very least is a Muslim appeaser,” Fransen told Fusion.

I knew Trump fit well into the European RW populist mold, but they really seem to be loving them some Donald. It would be funny if it were not so serious.

There's 2-minute video of RW Europe's love of Trump at the link. Depressing.
