The Trump strategy is already beginning to grip. Yesterday, the Times of London ran this astonishing headline: “Keir Starmer to admit globalization has failed as tariff war rages.” Three weeks ago, UK Prime Minister Starmer sat in the Oval Office with his snobbish delegation to deliver a prim, polite threat on behalf of Ukraine’s penis pianist. (If you’ve been reading closely, you’ll recall how the Epstein-binder fracas blew the Brits out of the water.)

According to the Times, Starmer is set to deliver a major speech today in which —get this— he will “declare an end to globalization and admit that it has failed millions of voters.” There was more. Starmer “will also say he understands Trump’s economic nationalism, and why it is popular with voters who believe they have seen no benefits from free trade and mass immigration.”

An unidentified Downing Street official added, “Trump has done something that we don’t agree with but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this. The world has changed, globalization is over and we are now in a new era.”

To say that London is the world’s globalization headquarters is like saying the Mouse lives at Disney World. London has been the velvet-gloved epicenter of globalism ever since the East India Company shipped spices and opium on the same manifest. London’s financial class didn’t just benefit from globalization— they practically wrote the instruction manual. For them to start hand-wringing now about “mass immigration” and “no benefits from free trade” is a sign the ground is shaking beneath the WEF cathedral.

Trump isn’t just Making America Great Again. He’s also making Europe great again, freeing it against its will from its smothering Babylonian bureaucracy in Brussels. In short, Trump is jackhammering a wedge between European national identity and EU hegemonic bureaucracy— between real nations and their synthetic supranational babysitters. It’s starting to look like Brexit on steroids.
