Well,except for his support for the fascist candidate for president of France, Marine LePen:
Two days before a French election that has Europe on edge, President Donald Trump weighed in, expressing support for far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen — though he stopped short of a complete endorsement.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Trump said although he was not offering an endorsement, he thinks Le Pen is “strongest on borders, and she’s the strongest on what’s been going on in France.”
Earlier in the day, he posted a tweet responding to a shooting Thursday on Paris’s Champs Elysees that outgoing French President Francois Hollande called a likely act of terrorism
“Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!” Trump wrote.
And that’s terrific!
Hopefully the French aren’t as pathetically dumb as we are. From what I hear Trump is massively unpopular there so maybe his quasi-endorsement will actually hurt her.
Seriously, God help us when there’s another terrorist attack in the US. Trump and Sessions are just chomping at the bit …
