As foreign minister, the rosy-cheeked Kurz claims credit for closing the Balkan migrant trail in 2016 that saw hundreds of thousands of migrants trek into western Europe. Pushing far-right themes, he wants to cut benefits for all foreigners, reduce bureaucracy and stop the EU having too much say in national affairs

Trump effect?

I would term it a return to sanity effect.

I will say this though, this is exactly what Trump sought to support at the U. N., when he praised nationalistic individualism.

Right there at the U. N., Trump advocated for strong nationalism, stating that’s what helps a nation’s populace the most.

This was a massive blow to the U. N. and the E. U. models, that push the idea of centralized international governance to be the best thing for humanity.

Perhaps the people in Austria were listening. If so, excellent. The outcome is excellent either way.

That was the best speech at the U. N. I can remember.

It put the organization in it’s place.
