Once vocal backers are now speaking out. Nigel Farage called Trump’s Greenland comments “very hostile,” while Italy’s Giorgia Meloni rejected his dismissive stance on Europe’s role in Afghanistan. Publicly supporting a U.S. president who threatens European sovereignty contradicts their core nationalist message.

Only 15% of Germans now view the U.S. as a reliable partner. French leader Jordan Bardella, once cautiously supportive, now labels Trump’s threats as “blackmail” and “unacceptable.” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, previously seen as a Trump-friendly figure in Europe, has taken a notable turn. In response to Trump’s NATO remarks, she defended Italy’s military record and warned that friendship “requires respect.”

At the heart of the fallout is a contradiction: Trump’s “America First” approach increasingly undermines European nationalists’ claims to independence and pride .As Justin Logan of the Cato Institute put it, “Regardless of what the AFD or National Assembly think about migration, they do not agree with the annexation of Europe by the U.S.”

Europe’s centrists have capitalized on the discomfort. German politician Manfred Weber challenged far-right lawmakers to choose between being “true Europeans” or “a colony of Washington.”

The suggestion that Trump undermines European dignity is gaining traction, and leaving far-right leaders with difficult choices.

European nationalists distance themselves from Trump

If one recalls the look of disdain on her admittedly expressive face during recent meetings with Mr Trump I would suggest she has not been a "Trump friendly figure" for quite some time. She does not suffer fools gladly, and has made that rather obvious a couple of times!

I guess its the Quisling effect. Oswald Mosely didn't really have the same support post-WW2 as before.
