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.
It was not a witch hunt, it was a bitch hunt. And it succeeded.
French here. Donald, take care of your burning house before you step in ours.
He so goddamn embarrassing.
He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents.
Every accusation is an admission.
I rather legal system than out the window system.
Why would Trump be helping a Putin pawn? I have absolutely no idea…
How is he aware of her bookkeeping?
Was he doing it?
I wouldn’t be surprised.
It’s just not a bookkeeping error, there are internal emails where they state that they wouldn’t be able to keep the lights on without paying their staff with our taxes.
Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.
On behalf of France to Trump:
Va te faire foutre.
Yes Trump we know you love fascism, and that it’s easier to establish fascist systems when laws are set aside.
Now would you kindly fuck off, and preferably go shoot yourself.BOYCOTT USA NOW!!
Uh, le fuck off.
Trump is a cunt. Sorry that’s disrespectful.
President Trump is a cunt.
Trump lacks the warmth and depth.
He keeps calling on France to do stuff when France is the country least likely to do said stuff.
Hopefully France does not.
Hopefully France cannot. The legal system should be independent to not be even able to cave to political pressure like this.
Toton.
