    Not really.

    Plenty of other countries adopting Trump’s populist policies.

      And it’s their prerogative if they choose to do so. That’s not the same as Trump pushing his policies onto other countries.

      And it’s not other countries. It’s right-wing parties who are using Trump for inspiration, it doesn’t automatically mean those parties are in power. In a parliamentary system, if they have any power then in most cases they’re in a coalition with center-right parties who will act as a stop-gap to their most extremist ideas. Even if they wanted to do like Trump does they have a much harder time doing that.
