Is the Tide Turning in Europe? The US Under Trump Shifts from Meddling to Defending Democracy

In a historic shift, the United States under President Donald Trump is redefining its role in global politics, moving away from decades of interventionist policies to championing democratic principles and national sovereignty in Europe.

For years, administrations under Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden faced criticism for interfering in foreign democracies, funding far-left NGOs, orchestrating regime changes, and supporting globalist networks tied to figures like George Soros.

Now, with Trump’s return to power, the U.S. is emerging as a protector of patriotic movements, exemplified by its decisive intervention to safeguard Germany’s largest opposition party, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).

The AfD, a vocal advocate for national sovereignty and civil liberties, faced an existential threat when Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) labeled it a “proven right-wing extremist” group on May 2.

This designation, accompanied by a media campaign to delegitimize the party, appeared to be a precursor to a potential ban, raising alarms about the erosion of parliamentary democracy in Germany. The move echoed authoritarian tactics, prompting swift condemnation from key figures in the Trump administration.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio took to X, denouncing the German government’s actions: “Germany has empowered its intelligence service to surveil the opposition. That’s not democracy—it’s disguised tyranny”.

Vice President J.D. Vance amplified the critique, stating, “The West dismantled the Berlin Wall together. Now, the German establishment is rebuilding it—not with Soviet or Russian hands, but their own”.

The decisive blow came on May 7, when Senator Tom Cotton called for U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard to suspend cooperation with Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), labeling the tactics “unworthy of a Western democracy”.

Within 20 hours, the BfV quietly removed the extremist label from its website on May 8, marking a stunning retreat.

This intervention, driven by Trump’s allies, underscores a profound change in U.S. foreign policy. Without Trump’s election victory, the AfD might have faced a ban, potentially setting a precedent for suppressing other opposition movements across Europe.

The U.S., once criticized for undermining democratic processes abroad, is now positioning itself as a defender of democracy, particularly in Germany, a key ally. The AfD’s survival, thanks to American pressure, highlights a broader trend: the Trump administration is prioritizing the protection of parties that champion national identity and resist globalist agendas.

The German establishment’s retreat was further exposed by its own media and experts. The Berliner Zeitung enlisted plagiarism expert Stefan Weber, who revealed the BfV’s report as largely “copy-pasted” from unrelated court rulings, undermining its legitimacy.

Legal scholar Dietrich Murswiek, writing in Focus, argued that the report provided no evidence of the AfD’s hostility toward the constitution, noting that its ethnic-cultural concept of identity is not unconstitutional.

The constitutional law expert Volker Boehme-Neßler went even further in Focus, calling the intelligence agency’s tactics «democratically unacceptable.» These revelations have fueled a growing debate about the state of democracy in Germany, with comparisons to authoritarian regimes that use state agencies against political rivals.

This episode signals a potential turning point for Europe. As populist and patriotic movements gain traction across the continent, from France’s National Rally to Italy’s Brothers of Italy, the U.S. under Trump appears poised to support these forces against establishment efforts to marginalize them.

The question now is whether this shift will inspire other European nations to reconsider their approach to political dissent or double down on suppression. With the U.S. emerging as an unexpected guardian of democratic principles, the tide may indeed be turning in favor of sovereignty and liberty in Europe.

BREAKING NEWS: Republican Senator Ron Johnson has announced he will not vote to confirm President Trump’s “Big and Beautiful Bill” in the Senate, stating he “couldn’t care less” if the president is upset by his decision.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
