I did hear bobby beckel say yesterday that Trump planned to help LePen by stating the shooting on the Champs Elysee was terrorism knowing that would help her polling numbers. Or something. Does that qualify as Trump interfering with the French (s)elections?

It would seem that after so many terrorist attacks in France over just the past year that this election would be a no-brainer for the country. We’ll see.

A week or two ago I read that Obama has publically endorsed one of the candidates but don’t recall which one. It was the candidate who released the endorsement to the press.

Actually, my thinking is Brian Williams and the MSNBC crew was trying to “unhelp” Le Pen by criticizing President Trump, who was proved right within the hour.

Former POTUS stuck his nose into the election just before the terrorist attack, too, once again highlighting his impeccably terrible timing.

The linked article goes on to say, “US presidents typically avoid weighing in on specific candidates running in overseas election. “ So take your clues from that.

How convenient the amnesia. Including Obama sending a paid advisory team to Israel to try to unseat Netanyahu by working with his opponents.

He stated his opinion. My opinion is the same. So is the opinion of most who know France well.

Endorsements from foreign leaders almost always backfire.

None of this matters. Le Pen cannot be elected. It is nearly impossible given France’s corrupt two-step process.
