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’s being ordered by Putin on his behalf, le penne is putins agent
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
Everything this idiot does, I look at through the eyes of the kremlin. That makes it make sense.
Trump = Krasnov
trump must vouch for Le penne because she is also a russian asset, and putin will be disappointed of he doesnt.
He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents.
Every accusation is an admission.
What is the expulsion of students for legal protest if not that?
Projecting, as they always do
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.
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
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
Nobody really cares about laws anymore, so lets just ignore that one.
I’ve observed that such laws are of zero consequence.
He just needs to start wearing a MAGA hat at his court appearances.
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.
Why would Trump be helping a Putin pawn? I have absolutely no idea…
Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.
Ha, go fuck yourself cheeto (France probably).
Not just France. Saying that in the US, too.
On behalf of France to Trump:
Va te faire foutre.
I think for this one we can dust off one of my old favourites: “va te faire enculer à sec avec du gravier”.
Uh, le fuck off.
It’s just a bit of embezzlement
Just some pocket change, no biggie c’mon
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!!
