The founder of the party is Salvatore Nicotra, former head of the Belgian National Front (NF). According to him, the name TRUMP is an abbreviation for Tous Réunis pour l'Union des Mouvements Populistes ("All United for the Union of Populist Movements"). The politician explicitly associates the party’s brand with the image of Donald Trump.

Pathetic

Nothing sounds more patriotic than a party named after a foreign despot

Well, if he isn't for his own people, he must be for you, no?

Lol this is completely bound to fail. Trump is in no way popular here, probably because most people have some basic level of education and critical thinking skills. For now.

Good luck getting people to search your political party up on google, that shits gonna be on page 3.

That's super edgy, man. So cool. /s

Fantastic timing. Someone should make a counter party called BUBBA.

Are they pedos too?
GenosseFlosse@feddit.org · 6 pts · 311d
Yeah, but it will only be the cheap dollar store knock off pedos.

They only go after child sex dolls.

We have a guy that ran as Aussie Trump in Australia and one other right-wing fuckwit party is named Trumpet of Patriots, primarily because they run on trumpist policies. The motherfucker has really made being alive a chore.

The world has gone mad.

Imagine watching the US president right now and thinking "Yep, that's who I'll associate myself with!".
_Nico198X_@europe.pub · 9 pts · 311d
Any "European" that kowtows to the US like this is sycophancy of the highest order. Traitors, deeply unserious, and shameful behaviour.

I don't pass by often here in this community. This is why I remember that OP posted this same report 6 days ago - and has now deleted it apparently only to repost it again (you can see my comment back then in my history, back then @schizoidman posted a link by Firstpost).
This is so ridiculous that you can only shake your head, but at least it fits to OP's (and feddit.org's?) anti-democratic propaganda feed.

oh wow, this is right - but it seems like one post survived; posted to nottheonion
donno if this is to make fun of lol party named trump or your mention of anti-propaganda.

Just look at OP's post history.

Do they wear diapers as a kinship symbol?
Formfiller@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 311d
I guess they like pedofiles and corruption
griD@feddit.org · 5 pts · 311d
Indeed there was some.... minor... trouble with pedophelia in the 80/90ies in Belgium.
"Marc Dutroux" is your entry point to a rabbit hole (literally filled with the bodies of small children) as deep as the Epstein one.
Spoilers: Nothing really happened to powerful people back then.
So, yeah.

It's not funny and sad, it's hilarious and deeply depressing.

Every time I want to quote the Smiths' That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, I remember Morrissey is a fascist supporter now.

Ah, the united union of bootlickers. Too bad their role model probably couldn't even point at Belgium on a map.

"named after Donald Trump", you say. Hmmm, what gave it away? The TRUMP part? (journalists doing journalists things)
Lumidaub@feddit.org · 1 pts · 311d
How would you phrase it? The word "trump" existed before Donnie, this is just making the connection explicit instead of "well it COULD be a coincidence", especially since it's also an acronym (backronym).

Belgium is a beautiful city, but I don't like this

It's going to be hilarious when they rebrand their name if Trump gets fried from the Epstein files.

The only thing that would make this even more ridiculous is if the Trump organization sues them for copyright infringement.

At least Trump can no longer blame Brussels....

Citizen Dick cancelling all shows in Belgium.
