Examples

“Yet since that inauguration, the president also seems to be creating a “Trump effect” on many, though not all, foreign elections, especially among countries that have been important U.S. allies and partners. In general, the effect has been to boost the popularity of left or center-left parties in national elections. Yet sometimes it is not just leftist parties that win, but rather a leader who stands up to Trump the most or seems to the public like the best-equipped figure to handle the White House.”

“The Trump effect has cruelled Peter Dutton’s campaign.”
