While there has been a trend to the right and an anti-immigrant/anti-globalism trend that certainly preceded Trump, he has become the lightening rod of the movement as it spreads far beyond America's borders. Even CNN which no longer does real news, covered this in an editorial:

In Italy, two populist parties -- the Five Star Movement and far-right League -- have formed a ruling coalition. Hungary's far-right, anti-immigration Prime Minister Viktor Orban won a third term as leader in April. In Poland, the ruling Law and Justice party is en route to dismantling the nation's judicial system.
