Far-right felons wannabe dictators supporting each other. How can you not have tears in your eyes??
And maybe worse: how warped must their minds be to assume that Le Pen’s arrest was for political reasons and ask for leverage to start-up a disinfo campaign in France?!
It’s just beyond twisted crazy.
I genuinely believ they don’t care. Trump knows he’s guilty in the Epstein file, but he still assumes he doesn’t deserve any prosecution because of his own personal exceptionalism. Same is tmue for the ICE agent who shot Goode: “total immunity” said Vance.
Same is probably true for Lepen in his eyes: she’s an ally. To project a view he expressed in the past: she could shoot someone on the Champs-Élysée and not lose their support.
Whatever happened to America first, he seems to be doing everything but that.
