Trump Touts Le Pen As ‘Strongest’ Candidate in French Presidential Race

In a new interview U.S. President Donald Trump has said that while he does not formally endorse anti-mass migration French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, she is the “strongest” on borders and security, ahead of Sunday’s first round of voting in France. The U.S. President said that he believed the terror attack that killed one police officer and injured two others on Thursday would likely help Ms. Le Pen, who has promised to restore order in France during her campaign. Speaking to the Associated Press Friday Mr Trump said Le Pen was, “strongest on borders, and she’s the strongest on what’s been going on in France.”

Trump tweeted in reaction to the Paris shooting: “Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!”

Many interpreted the tweet as an implicit endorsement of the Front National leader, though Trump has had no personal contact with Le Pen or has sought to formally endorse her.

The closest the two have come to meeting occurred earlier this year when Le Pen made an impromptu appearance at Trump tower in New York City before the presidential inauguration in January. Ms. Le Pen claimed that she was meeting associates in New York who had chosen the venue and had no plans or intentions of meeting with the President.

*TRUMP BUMP*

This woman is truly going to have her hands full and will be chastised at every turn. Her love of France must be immense, as WHO would want that job right now? Yikes!

Praying for her WIN and for her future safety.

The left’s ideology and PC culture blinds them to reality. Common sense and straight talk is hard to come by these days.

Last chance, France.

Vote Le Pen or become Francistan.

2 p.m. Eastern. Opinion Polling is prohibited by French law today, but the major polls as of yesterday showed Le Pen at 21.5-23%. If she goes over 25%, this will be a very nasty race to the bottom on May 7th.

Macron is married to his high school teacher— 24 years older than him and whose daughter was his classmate, and he did a stint as an investment banker for Rothschild.

It’s now or never for France. I mean they literally are the canary in the coal mine for the U.S.

What they have now, will be us in 20-30 years. If Le Pen doesn’t win and Islam is allowed to continue to grow unfettered then that will be it.

That’s funny.

I didn’t even see that, until you posted it.

Le Pen, Trump and Putin are all that stand between the Christian world and its demise. Western civilization needs to have all three in power. They need to then work together to unite Christendom and purge the enemy from our midst.
