re: Trump-like leaders proliferate.... around the world populists pop up.

Western leaders have been far too eager to atone for their past sins and really pushed their leftist ideology that demands that they feed, clothe, and house everyone from around the world. It's not sustainable. Also, when you essentially tell your own people that refugees or the interest of other countries (EU trade deals) take priority over citizens, you're going to piss people off. European socialism is a crumbling experiment and yet another example of the law of unintended consequences that constantly follows progressive policies.
