Summary
Donald Trump condemned France’s conviction of far-right leader Marine Le Pen, calling her four-year sentence and five-year political ban a “witch hunt” and likening it to his own legal battles.
Le Pen was found guilty of embezzling EU funds and plans to appeal.
Trump claimed the charges were politically motivated, calling them a “bookkeeping error” and urging France to “FREE MARINE LE PEN!”
He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents. Le Pen’s National Rally party was fined $2 million.
Every accusation is an admission.
Ah yes, that left-wing government with a banker president. I guess everything is regarded as left by Trump.
Well, if you’re far enough to the right, everything is to your left.
Anything he disagrees with is ‘the left’
Just wait until he starts to call anything that disagrees with Putin and him non-human.
Certainly he’s done that by now?
Macron left wing ? Best joke I heard in a long time XD As i understood she got immediate ineligibility because she claimed being innocent despite all the proofs showing she was the main administrator of this system of embezzlement (also, she advocated for years the use of ineligibility for politics accused of something during their mandate)
Projecting, as they always do
What is the expulsion of students for legal protest if not that?
I rather legal system than out the window system.
Also I’m pretty sure actual French Left-wing are not happy and do not like the precedent it sets. So pretty much the only party that is happy this happenned is the conservatives, but he is not going to say that is he?
Conservatives are happy what happened? Nothing has happened other than the orange turd making ridiculous demands.
French conservatives are fairly happy Lepen got banned yes.
