— THE UNEXPECTED RETURN OF FORT TRUMP – JAKUB SZYMCZAK IN OKO.PRESS: “Hegseth also met with President Andrzej Duda in Poland. However, there was no joint conference after the meeting. President Duda addressed the journalists and recalled a long-abandoned project: “I can tell you today, without a smile, that 'Fort Trump' will indeed be built in our country. This period of Donald Trump's presidency will be about strengthening the Polish-American alliance, including militarily, thus strengthening Poland's security,” said the Polish president. The idea of Fort Trump originated in 2018, during Donald Trump's first term as US President. The PiS government and President Duda, wanting to please the American president, proposed building an American base in Poland under the American president's name. Andrzej Duda is trying to return to this type of gesture towards Trump today. However, it is unlikely that Americans will pick up the idea. Hegseth's visit to Europe clearly shows that the United States' priorities lie elsewhere.”

— OUR LIBERAL POLITICIANS, WHO ONCE POSITIONED THEMSELVES AS DONALD TRUMP'S ENEMIES, ARE NOW IMITATING HIM. HIS RIGHT-WING SUPPORTERS, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE IN EUPHORIA, ALTHOUGH WASHINGTON'S ACTIONS MAY SOON PUT THEM IN AN AWKWARD SITUATION – PIOTR ZAREMBA IN RZ.

— CAN THE POLISH RIGHT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF HOLDING AN OPINION SEPARATE FROM TRUMP AND MUSK? I ASK, AWARE OF THE ABSURDITY OF THIS LOOP – ZAREMBA FURTHER IN RZ: “In such a situation, can one give up an influential ally who, moreover, is interested in igniting a global debate on such topics? Can the Polish right afford the luxury of holding an opinion separate from Trump and Musk? I ask, aware of the absurdity of this loop.”

— IT IS TOO EARLY TO SPEAK DEFINITIVELY ABOUT PUTIN'S TRIUMPH. BUT THE NEGATIVE TRENDS SHOULD AT LEAST BE NOTICED – PIOTR ZAREMBA IN INTERIA: “Much suggests that we are entering a period of open rejection of various barriers imposed by international law. Trump seems to like this, as he himself is tempted, of course on a completely different scale, to benefit from it. For mid-tier countries like Poland, this is exceptionally bad news. I see no reason not to notice this and not to worry about it. Because will it be easier for us if we bury our heads in the sand?”

— TRUMP IS DEALING WITH VARIOUS SQUARES OF CIRCLES, HE IMPROVISES. HOWEVER, GENERALLY, HE PROPOSES MORE APPEASEMENT THAN RESISTANCE – ZAREMBA FURTHER: “There are honorable exceptions here (Przemysław Żurawski-Grajewski), but most are looking for new explanations. Yesterday they claimed it was untrue, that Trump would be even tougher than Biden. Today they console themselves that since the American president wants to invest in Ukrainian rare earth minerals, he won't allow attacks on the areas where they are mined. But a significant part of these minerals is located in territories occupied by Russians. And the US Secretary of Defense believes that they are unlikely to be recovered. Trump is dealing with various squares of circles, he improvises. However, generally, he proposes more appeasement than resistance.”

— AN AVATAR FOR PRESIDENT. DOES NAWROCKI EXIST AT ALL? – MAREK BEYLIN IN GW: “As a result, Nawrocki appears as a political figure to be an artificial creation, formatted by PiS campaign organizers. His 'no' patriotism is identical to patriotism according to PiS. One can therefore wonder if a real Karol Nawrocki exists in this campaign, or if we are dealing with 'Candidate Nawrocki,' a kind of political avatar created for his party's use. But this unclear form of the candidate's existence and a campaign focused on negation is to some extent an advantage. Nawrocki's words, repetitive in tone and limited to a few themes, attract less attention than the speeches of his main opponent, Rafał Trzaskowski.”
