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.

    Local belgian here, dont worry too much. Even if retardus maximus here, gets elected not a lot will change since itll take at least 500 days just to make a government and it will last less than a year since everyone will still be fighting each other because thats just how we roll.

    Being the world's most successful failed state has its advantages.

    Eeehhhh, the us might take that record of no functioning government from us haha.

    Either case, this person is right. Regardless, the party can fuck right off. If our far right party isnt right enough, something is massively wrong.

    I'll never understand the appeal of this ugly, gross, diaper-wearing, idiotic, hateful, sack of spoiled mayo and diarrhea...

    "He's a rapist, felon, pedophile, yeah that's what we wanna be like!" -- said by this "political party" of shit-for-brains...

    I am surprised they brand themselves "Populistes" which in French language has a very negative meaning. It literally means you say whatever people want to hear to get elected without following through on your promises. At least in a sense, they are honest about it...

    We can that a demagogue, populist has lost most of the negative connotations after decades where neither of our two parties would even barely even bother to pretend they were on the side of the people

    Named after Trump won the election, but before it went pear-shaped enough to deliver a second Labor term. Calling the party the Australian Trump Party or something would have invited a trademark lawsuit (you don’t get to where Trump is by leaving money on the table), so they chose a plausibly-deniable name, in the sense that it sounds like some kind of very American mashup of Biblical imagery and Cold War-era nationalism. The electorate took one look and said “yeah, nah”

    Oh-oh. This guys timing, when creating a new party based on Trump, is bad. Just in time for trump's fall from grace degeneracy.

    All United for the Union of Populist Movements is awesome! We do hate those splitters from the Union of Populist for all United Movements" though

    For shame Belgium.

    I guess those residents' visas were denied entry, so they figured "If I can't be fascist in America, I'll just bring fascism here!"
