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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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…

      I think that’s how the word is used across Europe. Not the American “do what the people want” way.
