Most European countries have had significant shifts to the right in recent elections. Many European leaders have acknowledged Trump was right regarding a lot of things in his first term, and that Europe would have been better off had they listened to him.

The laughing stock on the world's stage is far left politics. Their foothold on Western society has crumbled, and wide scale incompetance and corruption has been exposed. If this wasn't the case, elections wouldn't be abandoning leftist policies to move to the right.

I hear this so, so much but I've seen next to know evidence presented. I've lived in Europe under "lefty" governments and it would be pretty hard to say it was a "corrupt" system?

All I remember is high taxes, good public infrastructure and healthcare and social benefits. To say it was corrupt is ridiculous.

Who did and what did they say? Cite your sources.

I bet he means Orban and Putin.

Well, no, this didn't happen in many countries and not even being right on a lot of things
