“President Donald Trump wants to grow Europe’s right-wing populist movement but he might have a harder time than he expects winning over European voters,” Politico reports.

“The MAGA leader is unpopular in Europe, even among the supporters of right-wing populist parties he sees as allies, according to the new Politico Poll.”

“His biggest fans are in Britain, where 50 percent of Reform-aligned respondents had favorable views of Trump. However, in France and Germany, only about a third of people who said they had supported right-wing parties reported seeing Trump in a favorable light.”

In the 19th century, British philosopher John Stuart Mill said:

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

And we can say that about Reform UK today. For instance, the poll says 43% of Reform voters think Trump's policies benefit both the US and other countries (National Rally in France: 24%, AfD in Germany: 29%). 50% of Reform UK voters have a positive or very positive view of Trump (National Rally 30%, AfD 34%).
