Italian Mayoral Candidate Launches Official “Trump Party” in Italy

Gianni Musetti, an Italian mayoral candidate, started the ‘Trump Party” in Italy to revive national patriotism.

Musetti sees a lot of similarities between issues that are facing the U.S. and those in Italy – specifically Muslim refugees.

The mayoral candidate also likes the idea of Trump’s wall along the southern border and Trump’s travel ban.

Donald Trump has promised to make America great again, but one Italian mayoral candidate is hoping that the U.S. president — or at least his iconic last name — can also make Italy, not to mention his own political career, great.

Gianni Musetti, a 31-year-old political hopeful from the Tuscan town of Carrara, recently launched the “Trump Party” in what he calls an attempt to enliven Italy’s center-right political movement and speak directly to the country’s disillusioned voters.

“[Trump] speaks directly, the way the ordinary people do, without resorting to the so-called ‘language of the politicians’,” Musetti said, according to the local media. “When two politicians are talking to each other on a talk show it is hard to understand what they are talking about, as not many people keep their eyes on the politics.”

Musetti said that he first became aware of Trump by watching the mogul’s professional wrestling appearances on WWE, but became captivated with the U.S. leader’s brand of populism during last year’s U.S. presidential election.

The budding politician added that Trump reminds him of Italy’s last conservative leader, Silvio Berlusconi — an extremely popular prime minster who won re-election four times.

“They are both successful businessmen who gave up a comfortable life to get into politics at the service of the people,” Musetti said of Trump and Berlusconi. “And they are both attacked by the media and the judiciary, who don’t like their politically incorrect way of doing things.”
