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.
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
Prez. Luigi for Prez. At least he’s actually done something for the people.
He’s not old enough to run for president
I’ve observed that such laws are of zero consequence.
Nobody really cares about laws anymore, so lets just ignore that one.
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
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.
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.
Everything this idiot does, I look at through the eyes of the kremlin. That makes it make sense.
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
trump must vouch for Le penne because she is also a russian asset, and putin will be disappointed of he doesnt.
I guess he realizes he would be in the same boat as her if America had a functional legal system. Or maybe I’m giving him too much credit, thinking he has the self-awareness to compare his situation to hers.
It was not a witch hunt, it was a bitch hunt. And it succeeded.
He keeps calling on France to do stuff when France is the country least likely to do said stuff.
I mean, 3 million euros is literal peanuts. Do be aware that this is a politically charged witch hunt.
One that fortifies the EU and weakens Russia.
I’m all for that
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.
