The founder of the party is Salvatore Nicotra, former head of the Belgian National Front (NF). According to him, the name TRUMP is an abbreviation for Tous Réunis pour l’Union des Mouvements Populistes (“All United for the Union of Populist Movements”). The politician explicitly associates the party’s brand with the image of Donald Trump.

      How would you phrase it? The word “trump” existed before Donnie, this is just making the connection explicit instead of “well it COULD be a coincidence”, especially since it’s also an acronym (backronym).
