The phenomenon of the "Trump Revolution" is not unique to America, although, it is obviously not called that in other parts of the world. In Europe, there are also new resurgences of right-wing political parties, and while they often argue things that seem foreign to us, like whether or not Britain should pull out of the EU, many of the topics of debate are very familiar, such as the debate over Muslim immigrants. Like Trump, many right-winged conservatives in Europe are calling for limitations and in some cases, complete bans on Muslim immigration to their countries.
To be fair, they are facing a huge refugee crisis that we can't begin to comprehend in Europe, but then again, I don't think it's ever ok to block immigration due to religion or ethnicity. This is a resurgence of the nativism that has come and gone throughout US history. Whenever the rate of immigration gets to a certain point, Americans tend to flip out and utterly reject it. And also, like in the case of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Americans have displayed a tendency to reject immigration on the basis of a perceived threat, no matter how ludicrous and absurd that perceived threat might be.

I completely agree that nobody should have the authority to ban immigrants based on race or religion. We have to remember how awfully that worked out during the Holocaust when thousands of Jewish immigrants came to America, just to be turned away. We didn't understand until after WW1 was over how horrendous the situation actually was and how we could have prevented or at least decreased the effects of one of the darkest periods in our history.
