1. Itβs based on a comparative question, not an overall approval of Trump.
The poll asked Europeans to rate Trump against their own national leaders, not whether he is universally admired or that Europeans broadly approve of him as U.S. president. africanewsmatters.com
2. This doesnβt necessarily mean Europeans view Trump favorably overall.
Other reputable polling β for example from organizations like YouGov or Pew Research β has found that many Europeans hold negative views of Trump and of U.S. leadership under him. For instance, a March 2025 YouGov-like poll showed that majorities in several Western European countries view the U.S. negatively, with especially low opinions in places like Denmark, Sweden, Germany and the UK β and these trends correlate closely with Trumpβs re-election. Wikipedia
3. The phrasing βStunning new poll finds the people of Europe believe President Trump is a βstrong and decisive leaderββ is a simplified and potentially misleading summary.
That phrasing turns a relative comparison to European leaders into an absolute claim about European opinion of Trump himself β which is not the same thing and misses critical nuance from the poll.
π Bottom line
β
There is a recent poll showing Europeans tended to see Trump as stronger/ more decisive than their own national leaders in a side-by-side comparison. africanewsmatters.com
β It is not accurate to say the poll shows that Europeans as a whole think Trump is a βstrong and decisive leaderβ in an absolute sense without the comparative context β and broader data suggests many Europeans still view him unfavorably overall. Wikipedia

Labour have a huge parliamentary majority
we have a first past the post system
there is zero requirement for them to call a general election just because people on the right urge them to on line
You'll have to wait, Mr Save Britain

BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in rage at legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma after it's announced that he will be avoiding the Trump-controlled Kennedy Center in favor of other venues.
It turns out that our nation's best artists want nothing to do with this fascist president...
According to The Washingtonian, the Washington Performing Arts booking organization are avoiding placing talent at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts for the foreseeable future.
The Kennedy Center has seen an exodus of top talent in recent months as Donald Trump has fired roughly two dozen board members and stocked it with MAGA loyalists, including Richard Grenell as president.
A spokesperson for the Washington Performing Arts stated that they "will not utilize The Kennedy Center" because they are aiming to "thoughtfully match artists and their work with venues that best serve the art, the audience, and the moment."
They added that they "assessed the variety of artists and performances we have in this upcoming season and decided it was best to explore new spaces that offer fresh possibilities."
With the departure of the Washington Performing Arts, the Kennedy Center will lose out on other exciting performances as well. The organization announced "Sigourney Weaver and the Pacifica Quartet at Sixth and I for WPAβs annual Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Concert, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Strathmore, Yo-Yo Ma at Strathmore, and Midori at Sixth and I."
This news comes as just the latest blow to the Kennedy Center, which has been hemorrhaging money and sinking in popularity since Trump first got his grubby hands on it.
Katy Waldman of the The New Yorker recently stated that "no matter how well or badly the center was doing before Trump, the Trump anti-Midas touch is in operation here, and now everything is worse.β
βNot only are ticket sales down, but donations have been paused, artists are pulling out. All of the spigots for money have slowed or have been turned off,β she added.
Please retweet and β€οΈ if you stand with Yo-Yo Ma!

Yesterday an Iranian girl at the university in Tehran was attacked by the βmorality Policeβ for not wearing her hijab properly so she took off her clothes in protest. This artwork says everything about the struggle of women inside Iran and the smallness of the regime that oppresses them.

Iβm actually glad you made this point because it really demonstrates what Iβm trying to say. If youβre married you can leave up to Β£1 million in properly or Β£650k in cash, stocks etc and pay ZERO tax on any of it. After that they only pay tax on the amount above those thresholds.
