Donald Trump speaks out once again on the French situation. After the riots that occurred this weekend, the American president affirmed that Marine Le Pen embodies “the conservative voice” in the country. “It seems to me, you know, she was in the lead. But after the violence, she clearly is”he analyzed, quoted by AFP.
Donald Trump’s intuition is confirmed in a new post-riot Ifop-Fiducial poll. The RN candidate progresses by 1 to 2 points and reaches between 34 and 38% of voting intentions, depending on the different hypotheses. Especially since in the second round, Marine Le Pen also widens the gap with her opponents. For example, she is given the winner in the five duels tested. She would obtain 56% in the second round against Édouard Philippe, 58% against Gabriel Attal,
“France is burning!” »
The tenant of the White House also gave his support to Marine Le Pen in the affair of the parliamentary assistants, for which she was sentenced on appeal to 15 months of ineligibility. “I don’t know him, I haven’t met her, but I think she was treated badly. That would make me think of an instrumentalization”replied the American president to a question asked by an AFP journalist in the Oval Office.
A few days earlier, he had already delivered his reading of the events of October 17. “France is burning!”launched Donald Trump on his Truth Social network and on X, before adding : The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has broken this once great country. » Therefore, the Head of State called on the French to “close (their) borders and (take back) control, before it is too late!” »
Previously, the American leader had already attributed the excesses during the high school demonstrations to “mass immigration out of control”. “It’s not about schools, it’s about Islam wanting to take over a once great country”he estimated, in the vein of numerous past statements on the impact of extra-European immigration on French society. Last August, for example, Donald Trump promised to ban any application of “Sharia” in the United States, after taking Paris and London as an example, where Islamic law would occupy an increasing place, according to him.
