The liberal media refuses to acknowledge the seismic shift happening across Europe, where ordinary citizens are rising up against the catastrophic policies of mass migration and elitist globalism—policies that have eroded national identities, suppressed wages, and destabilized societies. But as Steve Bannon and populist scholar Matthew Goodwin highlighted in a recent War Room discussion, Europe is now experiencing its own “Trumpian moment,” with anti-immigration and anti-establishment movements gaining unprecedented momentum.
Goodwin laid out the harsh reality: “Europe is now going through its own Trumpian moment with anti-immigration, anti-elite, pro-nation movements.” The evidence is undeniable. Polling across the continent shows support for populist-nationalist parties reaching historic highs, a direct rebuke to the EU’s reckless open-border agenda. “If you look at all the polling across Europe, a lot of these movements are reaching highs that would have been thought unthinkable in the early 2010s,” Goodwin noted.
The numbers don’t lie. Over the past decade alone, 30 million people—both legal and illegal—have flooded into Europe, many of them low-skilled, low-wage migrants who strain social systems and dilute cultural cohesion. As Goodwin warned, “The kind of migration that is coming into Europe… is undermining the culture of Europe too. That sense of who we are, that shared culture is being rapidly undermined by the scale of mass migration.”

President Trump has long sounded the alarm on Europe’s self-destruction, and now his policies are providing a blueprint for resistance. While the leftist media smears border enforcement as “xenophobic,” Trump’s success in detaining and deporting illegal aliens has emboldened European leaders to take action. Goodwin pointed to the UK’s crisis, where 170,000 mainly young Islamic men have illegally entered via small boats. “What President Trump is doing is incredibly important because it gives us proof of concept when we say, ‘look, we want to deport these guys,’” he emphasized.
Watch
Bannon drove the point home, slamming the elites who enabled this disaster: “The people at the top are the fruit of this system.” The economic and cultural devastation is undeniable—wages crushed, communities fractured, and national sovereignty surrendered to unelected bureaucrats. Yet the liberal press continues to parrot pro-migration propaganda, ignoring the will of the people.
Europe is finally waking up, and it’s thanks to leaders like Trump who refuse to back down.
