UK Conservatives Show Renewed Interest in Trump

UK's right-leaning Conservatives are embracing Donald Trump once more, even as opinions differ.
Key figures among the UK's Tories are embracing Donald Trump as he eyes a return to the presidency this November.

Numerous Tory members, including ex-prime ministers, have cautiously commended or supported the divisive former US President as his campaign gains momentum.

While Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government remains neutral to avoid conflicts with President Joe Biden or potential challenger Trump, discussions about a potential Trump comeback are heating up among British conservatives.

Paul Goodman, editor of the ConservativeHome, sparked conversation in Westminster with a column weighing a second Trump presidency's potential benefits for Britain.

Despite criticizing Trump, Goodman proposed that in a world facing threats from China, Russia, and Iran, Trump might symbolize and exert strength.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, still popular among Tories, recently suggested that Trump's presidency could benefit the world, emphasizing his support for Ukraine.

Liz Truss, a brief successor to Johnson as prime minister, expressed hope for a Republican victory in 2024, indicating support regardless of the nominee.

Some Tories like Jacob Rees-Mogg and Jake Berry openly prefer Trump over Biden, eschewing any pretext.

An anonymous Conservative Trump supporter acknowledged numerous silent admirers within the party, cautious of criticism.

However, not all Conservatives believe embracing Trump is beneficial, especially amidst the party's struggle against possible defeat by Labour in the upcoming election.

Ex-minister David Gauke criticized the support for Trump, noting his disregard for the law and democratic institutions.

Alicia Kearns, a notable party centrist, expressed astonishment on social media over endorsing Trump given his controversial actions and charges.

Some speculate that such support for Trump may be a tactic by Tories against Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which targets disenchanted Tory voters.

Farage, known for his Trump affinity, may influence the ex-president's views of the UK, speculated ex-minister Alistair Burt.

While pro-Trump sentiments grow within the Tory party, critical voices like Jeremy Hunt fear protectionism under another Trump presidency.

Despite mixed views, support for Trump among Tories may increase as he nears the Republican nomination, with more colleagues expected to publicly align with him.
