“International politics needs strong men like Trump and Putin, I consider them a benefit for humanity. Two giants like them talking to each other is the dream of the whole world”. So said Beppe Grillo, leader of the M5S, to the French weekly "Le journal du Dimanche".
And even if he later denied (“I have never said that strong men are needed, but that dialogue opens up scenarios of peace and détente”) the substance does not change much. And the pro-US turn (after the anti-Obama past) remains.
But on the Web, the pro-Trump turnaround leaves many grillini perplexed and there are not a few, in the starry base, who do not agree and protest. Senator Elisa Bulgarelli, for example, shared a very critical post on Facebook on the cancellation of the health care reform implemented by Barack Obama. “From February 5 – you wrote – anyone who does not have private insurance, in the USA, will not have the right to health care. It is the triumph of pure masochism” reads Sergio Di Cori Modigliani's post, shared by Bulgarelli. Criticisms also arrive on Beppe Grillo's blog: "This is not the M5s I voted for" - writes Davide at the bottom of the article "Donald Trump between Kennedy and Reagan" - Trump has repeatedly denied the existence of global warming, Bob, what do you think?" And Francesco Zani adds: ” I followed Grillo from the first post but now I'm back in the league. The MXNUMXS has nothing to do with Trump".
