Not too downplay the serious threat the hard right represent all over the world but it's not likely that they will get mega into other countries. Firstly because everyone can see what an absolute disaster they have been in the US but also because Trump isn't possible without a cult of personality and that's really hard to achieve.
Le Pen tried it in France and Nigel Farage is trying it in the UK and both have run up against the limits of support. There's always going to be the racists and the stupid who will vote for them (who then turned to inviting when things don't go their way), but they don't have the personality credits to convince the fence sitters over to their side.
