In the wake of the 2020 American presidential elections, many Czech politicians expressed support for Donald Trump, often publicly displaying symbols of his campaign, such as the iconic red caps. However, recent sentiment indicates that this trend has drastically shifted. The article highlights a significant decline in public displays of support for Trump among Czech politicians, as political communication shows that Trump’s actions are viewed as controversial and widely unpopular among Czech voters.

Current data from Ipsos, which is exclusively available to Deník N, reveals that the level of trust Czech citizens have in Trump is alarmingly low, with only a slightly higher trust level observed among supporters of certain political parties in the country. In a striking comparison, the trust placed in Trump is reported to be at levels similar to that of Russian president Vladimir Putin, who is currently leading an aggressive war not far from the Czech borders. This equivalence underscores the considerable skepticism towards Trump in the Czech Republic, amidst broader concerns regarding his leadership style and global policies.

Additionally, the article points out that only voters from one specific political party maintain a stronger trust in Trump, illustrating the polarized nature of political support in Czechia. This division reflects how political affiliations can significantly influence perceptions of international figures and their domestic implications, as the Czech public seems to be more inclined towards maintaining skepticism about Trump rather than following the trends of earlier years.
