Donald Trump was re-elected president in 2024, vowing to resume his struggle to end the hegemony of the leftist political elites and restore the government to the people. Those leftist elites are not in Washington alone; they are also in Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin, and most of the other capitals of Europe.

There is, however, a handful of notable exceptions:
[S]everal European countries have leaders who care as much about their own people as Trump does about Americans, and who are working to end the left’s dominance and restore sane government.
One of them, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, came to the White House last Thursday and had a cordial meeting with Trump.
Despite the fact the U.S. visit of a European leader who declared herself to be entirely in agreement with Trump’s guiding philosophy was a significant event, propaganda media coverage was sparse. What there was of it was notable for being even more sneering and condescending than usual.
The Washington Post focused its coverage before the Trump-Meloni meeting on the assumption, which turned out to be false, that Meloni was in Washington to conclude a trade deal with Trump on behalf of the European Union; its Wednesday story on the planned meeting was headlined “Europe pins trade hopes on Italy’s Meloni, its Trump whisperer.”
“Trump’s whisperer.” Is that supposed to be a damning pejorative against the Italian Prime Minister?
Obviously, the attack was meant to be against our president because:
[He is being made out to be] an animal who can’t be communicated with in any ordinary way; a person with special talents for communicating with dumb beasts has to be called in.
Meloni herself, however, denied the WaPo’s primary assertion, that the EU had sent her to make a deal with Trump.
She told reporters during her meeting with the president:
I am sure we can make a deal.
Further:
I’m here to help on that. I cannot, look, deal in the name of the European Union.
Much more importantly, Meloni pointed out some key ways in which she and Trump were simpatico. She pointed out:
We both share another fight, which is the fight against woke and EDI [DEI] ideology that would like to erase our history.
Further:
We share lots of things on tackling illegal migration.
Meloni made clear the fight against illegal migration was a battle for the very survival of Western civilization. She said:
When I speak about West, mainly I don’t speak about a geographical space; I speak about a civilization. And I want to make that civilization stronger.
This was extremely important to be said, because for decades the globalist socialists who run the European Union have been treating Europe as if it were simply a geographical space. They have acted as if they either did not know or care that European states have native populations and cultures of their own, or even worse, as if they actively wanted to destroy those populations and cultures.
Meloni, like Trump, is not willing to go along with the wrongheaded EU program.
She invited Trump to visit Italy, and announced:
I want to thank President Trump for having accepted an invitation to pay an official visit to Rome, and consider the possibility in that occasion to meet also with Europe.
Further:
The goal for me is to ‘Make the West Great Again.’
And CNN’s report on this? Totally off the mark:
It took Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni exactly two sentences in the Oval Office on Thursday to signal to her host she was a kindred spirit.
Plus:
[Meloni used] some of Trump’s favorite codewords to describe her battle against what they see as progressive ideals run amok.
If the Trump-Meloni friendship heralds a new era in European politics, and more leaders like Meloni arise, Europe—and America—have a fighting chance to survive. If, on the other hand, the Leftist elites in both the United States and Europe manage to reestablish their hegemony, it will be game over for free societies. And DO NOT forget the moslem invasion of Europe and America.
