Sam Sampson

Sam Sampson is not at all your typical high-level federal employee.

He's 27 years old, was a conservative activist, and in just a very short time has now risen to become a very important senior advisor at the State Department and really a messenger for President Trump across Europe.

part of Samson's travels have been meeting with far-right groups in each of these countries to essentially say, what can we do to help you affect policies like free speech, migration, anti-woke, anti-diversity policies that these far-right groups have been pursuing for years?

But now, essentially, Samson is the one traveling around Europe saying, the United States government wants to help you with that.

The European governments have reacted with alarm, mainly because they have themselves been fighting against some of these far-right parties to tamp down their influence throughout their countries.

And so to have a senior U.S.

official traveling around the country, pledging his support, but more importantly, pledging the support of the United States to these groups has really been something that strikes fear into the hearts of many of the politicians that are in office right now across Europe.
