Morawiecki wrote in a post on X that discussions about Trump leaving Europe and Poland are prejudice, not analysis. He argued that Europe has long been a central strategic arena for American interests since World War I and will continue to occupy a focal role in transatlantic relations. The message stressed that European stability and cohesion matter for the United States, and that assessments should be grounded in evidence and shared security goals rather than assumptions.
In another social media post, the former prime minister credited Trump with making history by winning the US presidency and asserted that this claim stands as a fact beyond political preferences, a point he framed as part of a long arc of change in American leadership and its global implications. The remark emphasized the durability of Trump’s electoral breakthrough and its potential effects on alliance dynamics and policy priorities across continents.
Trump would be only the second American president to lose reelection and later win again to hold the nation’s top office, following Grover Cleveland. Morawiecki noted that such a comeback hadn’t happened for more than a century, highlighting the rarity and potential significance of a renewed presidential mandate in shaping future policy directions and international partnerships.
Those remarks, Morawiecki added, point to a resilient, winning instinct in Trump, demonstrated in both business and politics. During the campaign he zeroed in on core American priorities like the economy and immigration, while opponents campaigned against him. He presented a vision of a strong United States for all citizens, and many groups, including Latinos and African Americans, responded to his message with support. He articulated clear right wing tendencies, yet remained receptive to a broad audience. The commentary underscored how Trump framed national renewal in terms of opportunity, security, and a pragmatic approach to foreign policy that resonated with diverse audiences, even as critics debated the consequences for international cooperation and regional stability.

Facts about Trump
Morawiecki then addressed what kind of president Trump would be, outlining potential policy trajectories and the possible impact on European partners and regional security frameworks. The discussion centered on the balance between American priorities and the responsibilities of allies who share defense commitments and trade interests, a balance that would shape future diplomacy and economic policy across the Atlantic.
Would his presidency threaten Poland or Europe? Such views often stem from prejudice and from a left leaning narrative rather than a factual assessment, he said, emphasizing the importance of evaluating concrete policy actions and verified outcomes rather than rhetoric or fear-driven projections. His commentary urged readers to consider demonstrable decisions and their practical effects for Europe and the broader security architecture.
And the facts, he asserted, show that the winner blocked Nord Stream 2, backed NATO expansion, and supported the Three Seas Initiative, while criticizing Germany’s energy dependence on Russia. These points reflect his previous term, illustrating a focus on energy security, regional cooperation, and reinforced alliance commitments that shape how Europe negotiates with Washington on strategic challenges and economic resilience.

Reactions in the Kremlin
Morawiecki argued that if Moscow raises a toast to Trump’s victory, it should temper its expectations. He framed the situation as one where Moscow might overestimate any short-term optics and underestimate the enduring significance of transatlantic partnership and democratic resilience in the face of competing global ambitions.
The claims that Trump will depart Europe or Poland are prejudice, Morawiecki stated, reminding readers that Europe has long been a strategic arena for the United States and will remain so. He stressed that the continent’s stability and its role as a partner in shared challenges are nonnegotiable elements of the American foreign policy calculus, especially amid evolving threats and new trade dynamics.
In the current moment, against Moscow’s imperial ambitions and within a broader global trade contest where China stands as a strong challenger, the United States seeks to preserve its leadership and values a strong European partner. The analysis pointed to a synchronized approach among Western allies, designed to uphold security norms, maintain open trade, and coordinate responses to emerging geopolitical tests.
Trump is a winner, a man who relishes success in business and politics. If he serves a second term, he would aim to forge a lasting, historic legacy. It would be hard to imagine him allowing Russia to dominate or narrowing the economic distance with China. Will he prioritize America first? The answer is yes, yet American interests cannot be isolated from global diplomacy, a reality some observers fail to grasp, Morawiecki said. The remarks highlighted a vision of pragmatic leadership that weighs national gains alongside continental and global responsibilities, urging a careful assessment of how such leadership would affect security, trade, and partnerships.
The place of Poland
Poland, described as a key country on NATO’s eastern flank, will play a significant role in US policy, Morawiecki asserted, emphasizing the importance of active participation in shaping policy within the alliance and in regional diplomacy that strengthens both sides’ strategic objectives.
That does not mean Poland should sit back. On the contrary, Warsaw should actively foster good relations with Washington. A sensible approach means avoiding the dismissal of Polish ambassadors who have engaged with both sides of a political dispute and ensuring steady, constructive diplomacy with the new American administration. The aim is steady cooperation that can withstand partisan shifts and reinforce shared security and economic interests.
During a visit to the United States, Morawiecki heard from Republican colleagues about the need to uphold rule of law and democratic principles. A confident democracy will be welcomed by the United States as the leading power. He said the Polish right will need to fight many battles before returning to power, and some of these battles will touch American soil. The discussion underscored the interconnected nature of democratic governance, legal norms, and the stability required for durable international partnerships.
