Why Trump’s MAGA playbook backfired in Romania

We’ve already listed the reasons behind George Simion’s defeat in the May 18 election, where he lost to Nicușor Dan despite seemingly holding all the cards. But one less-discussed aspect deserves a closer look: the failure to transplant MAGA ideology into Romania. Simion clearly benefited from consultants affiliated with former U.S. President Donald Trump—some openly, others behind the scenes. We all saw the interviews with Steve Bannon (former White House Chief Strategist and key MAGA ideologue) and the $1.5 million lobbying contract signed with an American firm. Others remained in the shadows but were present in Bucharest to support Simion.
