Trump’s wild popularity overseas is one of media’s best kept secrets
American Thinker ^ | 02/10/2019 | Thomas Lifson

The mainstream media pretends that their scorn for President Trump is almost universally shared overseas. While globalists everywhere (along with their media allies) dislike him for standing up for national sovereignty, a rising tide of populist revolt is shaking them to their core. And Trump is a hero – even a superhero – to the growing number of anti-globalist populists around the world.

Stark evidence of this popularity of President Trump comes from Italy, where a populist government won power – though the media tend to ignore this. The Carnival of Viareggio, described as “world-famous” by Medium.com (the website chosen by Jeff Bezos for his j’accuse manifesto against the National Enquirer) dates back to 1873, and has established itself as the venue for featuring amazing giant figures. It takes place in Tuscany, a wealthy area that is a magnet for tourists worldwide.

Check out the highlight of yesterday’s parade:

Don’t you love the Twitter sword that he carries?

There was at least one individual who picked up the theme in the parade:

Most delightful of all: This crowd transferred their love of President Trump into love for America.

According to Bizpacreview, the representation of Trump has acquired a nickname, God-Emperor Trump.”

Trump’s supporters here in the states have dubbed this caricature “God Emperor Trump” because of its uncanny resemblance to the “God-Emperor of Mankind,” a character in the popular tabletop fantasy wargame Warhammer 40,000.

“The Emperor of Mankind is the immortal Perpetual who serves as the ruling monarch of the Imperium of Man, and is described by the Imperial Ecclesiarchy and the Imperial Cult as the Father, Guardian and God of humanity,” a Wikia fan page notes.

And this “Father, Guardian and God of humanity” looks just like the Italians’ caricature of Trump.

Looks pretty spot on to me:

Of course, this is but the latest evidence that President Trump is inspiring people all over the world. My colleague Monica Showalter offers these examples that are shunned by our lying media:

The globalists realize that this is a worldwide phenomenon, one directed squarely at them and the transition they have wright on countries everywhere. The last thing they want is for Americans to understand that President Trump is THE global leader of a populist movement that is growing, is pro-America, and has already toppled statist governments

And Trump is a hero – even a superhero – to the growing number of anti-globalist populists around the world.

Netanyahu has a couple of campaign billboards featuring Bibi with Pres. Trump. DJT is more popular than Netanyahu.

I’ll try to find pix.

A yuge GEOTUS would make dandy Halloween lawn decor.

Stick a Santa hat on it for Christmas and folks could have it standing guard over their nativity scenes!

The GEOTUS meme has been around for two+ years, at least since this video.

Long live freedom ..long live Liberty.

Yes it is, planted along a city boulevard.

Check out the Twitter grab.

The video has been around for two years? THIS is the first time it has been seen. Thanks Freedom Poster.
DONALDUS
is such an apt nickname and says all there is to say. This is the kind of character any nation would be proud to spawn.
Thanks for the opportunity to view!
_____
PP,
if you’ve not seen the video..be certain to do so
SEE DONALDUS RISE.
Donald/US, a much more fitting name for him than WARHAMMER, though he’s not shy about fighting for continued belief in our United States of AMERICA.

From Newsweek:

https://www.newsweek.com/god-emperor-trump-float-presidents-face-it-makes-appearance-italys-carnival-1325517

“In his hand was the Emperor’s Sword, which, in the series, has the ability to slice through even the strongest armor without requiring much effort. Written on the sword were the words, “Dazi Vostri,” which translates to “your duties.” Near the sword’s handles were four blue birds, reflecting the logo of the social media website Twitter, which the president has routinely used to berate his enemies and advocate for his positions.”

"...Long live freedom ..long live Liberty."

here here.

Many in the Eurozone are choosing that over the leftist, globalist pols who are supported by their MSM.

Salvini, LaPen, Orban and others including Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic are making a serious play for better representation in the European parliament. The Yellow Vests are not going away anytime soon and the Merkel/Macron crowd are more than a little concerned. They are dealing with a herd of Central African and Middle Eastern monsters who on average are more criminal and less respectful of the countries they have invaded.

65% of those lovely immigrants in Germany are still unemployed and putting a serious strain on the national economy. The new immigrants are in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Belgium and Germany for the fat social welfare programs on offer. The majority of the Latins invading out southern border are coming to America to work.

Trump is viewed favorably by the same folks who admire him in America: the working middle class who just want a good life for their families and the chance to earn their own piece of the American pie.

He would be more openly supported here but people don’t want their cars and houses vandalized.

I've seen some big, old palm trees in a churchyard in Dublin myself.

The gulf stream carries warm water right to Ireland and keeps it pretty pleasant.
