This is US-centric nonsense. The Polish radical Right was a force long before Trump showed up. These demonstrations have been a growing problem since 2013https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/930498948548014080 …

Anne Applebaum, however respected, is not the final word of analysis when it comes to these issues. Have you thought of contacting colleagues at Gazeta Wyborzca or Hromadske?

of course they were a force before Trump showed up. I never said otherwise.

Exactly. Which is what I quoted you on. Obviously US public diplomacy doesn't create social movements. It can help energize them.

A single speech instrumentalised by PiS is not the same as the kind of systematic public diplomacy the US, Russia and other state structures have run for decades

That's true, but it's arguing with a claim I never made.

You argue that Trump is harnessing the soft power of the United States to promote a particular ideological agenda. I see impulses, but struggle to find a coherent strategy in his actions

I would never argue Trump has a coherent, well-thought out policy! I think impulses (varying with competing advisors) is fair.

Look at Trump's interactions with Abe, MBS, Bibi, Putin, Duterte, Kazcynski, Xi and so on. He is the ultimate exemplar of client capture. Canny statesman that play on the delusions of his entourage can harness him to achieve their particular goals
