Hollande said “the best thing the Democrats can do is to get Hillary Clinton elected” in the article, published Thursday in France’s Les Echos newspaper.

I'm a Trump supporter. But the French president says Hillary is the better choice. I'm soooo confused.

What is Hollande’s support in France now? Has it gone back up above 10%?

Hollande is a huge socialist. Maybe the biggest socialist in Europe at the moment.

Yes, I think Hollande needs to come over and campaign with her. That will surely rally the voters to her side.

Do I really need sarc here?

Hollande can also advise her on establishing and maintaining no-go zones. The voters will really appreciate that.

This seems to indicate my initial instincts were correct. Vote Trump!

Apparently it is only rude, untoward and obnoxious to stick your nose in another country’s politics if your name is Bush.

He can get her up to speed on open borders, socialism and inviting terrorists to do harm to your own citizens.

Maybe if the rest of the European people were to vote in a referendum, Hollande and other EU leaders would find out that the US and Europeans actually have quite a lot in common. It’s just the EU mush-heads that would have a problem with Trump’s election victory.

Did not French President François Hollande endorse "Remain" for Great Britain to stay in the EU? He should not embarrass himself again, and stick to his job of overseeing the failing economy of France.

This is a de facto endorsement for Trump.

Hollande is a perfect reverse barometer.

BTW—Since when do foreign leaders have the hutzpah to “endorse” our Presidential candidates anyway?

In Britain the current leaders of France are referred to as “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”.
