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.
Projecting, as they always do
I rather legal system than out the window system.
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)
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.
he will use putins buzzwords
He already does.
Certainly he’s done that by now?
What is the expulsion of students for legal protest if not that?
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.
Since America has now set a precedent for letting criminals get away with shit if they run for office, I wanna see Luigi Mangione run for congress
He just needs to start wearing a MAGA hat at his court appearances.
Can you imagine if he turns “full on maga”, sings trumps praises, claims woke mind virus made him do it. Trump Pardons him and invites him to the white house. He 2 for 1s Trump and musk
Luigi wouldn’t lose any votes if he gunned someone down on avenue of the americas
Perfection
Prez. Luigi for Prez. At least he’s actually done something for the people.
He’s not old enough to run for president
Trump is a felon, Edward Rafael Cruz was born in Canada, and half of our Congresspeople are dementia patients. Who gives a fuck about the requirements at this point.
None of those are legal barriers. Being under 35 is.
Waging an insurrection is also a legal barrier. Does article 2 of the US constitution self execute? No? Then it can’t be enforced, just like amendment 14, section 3.
Unfortunately, there is no constitutional requirement that says the president can’t be a felon or have dementia
There is one that you can’t be part of an insurrection and that didn’t matter either.
I’ve observed that such laws are of zero consequence.
Nobody really cares about laws anymore, so lets just ignore that one.
In the Orange Goblin‘s world, why should criminals be prosecuted or sentenced instead of being pardoned? He should better deal with the mess he is creating at home and manage his own affairs.
Wilhoit’s law.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
trump must vouch for Le penne because she is also a russian asset, and putin will be disappointed of he doesnt.
How unsurprising and tiring. It’s always the same.
Uh, le fuck off.
It’s just a bit of embezzlement
Just some pocket change, no biggie c’mon
Everything this idiot does, I look at through the eyes of the kremlin. That makes it make sense.
Trump = Krasnov
Ha, go fuck yourself cheeto (France probably).
Not just France. Saying that in the US, too.
Trump is a cunt. Sorry that’s disrespectful.
President Trump is a cunt.
Trump lacks the warmth and depth.
She won’t see an actual jail unless she seriously fuck-up, most of the sentence is suspended and as the remaining time is under two years she has the right to request house arrest or any other alternative sentence.
So the remaining sentence is that she can’t run at next presidential election (provided that she doesn’t get something else in appeal before the election).
Obvious reminder that if you or I would have stole 4 millions Euro we would see an actual jail.
He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents
That is a fine mental gymnastic there.
I hope I’m not erring on the side of over-simplifying reality to make it abide to my limited mental capabilities to comprehend it, but more likely it is them, “He and allies like Elon Musk”, who by doing what they normally do are using the legal system to silence themselves.
Rule of law 101
What’s funny is that the French government is not “left-wing”.
By comparison with MAGA they are.
In comparison with the US democrats they are.
By comparison with US in general Europe is living in communist utopia :)
They’re arguing that as if they’re not doing that exact thing themselves, as if they ain’t silencing their critics. Worst part is he’s disguising himself as a libertarian and someone who’s pro free-speech, when his ideas of libertarianism only extend to his govt. and cronies and his ideas of freedom of speech extend to his own views and his own supporters. He’s using the guise of being censored himself to censor literally anyone who opposes him.
“fine mental gymnastics”!?!?
There’s a few American law firms that need to be listed here, just for starters.
‘Fine’, my ass
It was not a witch hunt, it was a bitch hunt. And it succeeded.
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!!
Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.
