Trump was and is largely despised in the UK. The strength of feeling was very unusual, even right wing voters I know dismissed him as an egotistical, misogynistic liar.
It does seem politics are moving more towards the right in several European countires. But I wouldn't group them all together as a whole. They are following different paths.
The only positive line I have ever heard on Trump is Putin wouldn't of had the balls to push in to Ukraine with Trump in charge. Who knows on that one. Personally I can't stand Trump, but in all honesty I do think that might hold some water possibly.
