He has called Islam a "backward religion," he's named the prophet Mohammad a "pedophile," he wants to ban mosques and now Geert Wilders and his party are poised to win the Dutch national election by a wide margin.
Wilders, a politician who has made a name for himself through his anti-Islam and anti-European Union rhetoric, appears to be in the lead in the Netherlands' election with the most parliamentary seats, according to early results. "The Dutch voter has spoken," said the 60-year-old in a victory speech Wednesday evening at a café in The Hague, "We will ensure that the Netherlands will return to the Dutch."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."In a post on X on Wednesday evening, Hungary's populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán congratulated Wilders, exclaiming "The winds of change are here!"
Despite his party's resounding victory, though, Wilders might not have the numbers to form a coalition government. Four other major centrist parties – Timmerman's Labor-Green Alliance, Yeşilgöz's VVD, the NSC of former Christian Democrat Pieter Omtzigt, and the liberal D66 Party – appear to have enough seats to unite to form a coalition government, but negotiations could last months.
The last time four centrist parties entered into coalition negotiations it took more than half a year to form a government."

He is nothing like Donald Trump. The left has watched V for Vendetta too many times.
