Trump publicly backs France's far-right figurehead Le Pen after conviction

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : "FREE MARINE LE PEN," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, calling the court ruling a "Witch Hunt." The message is the latest high-profile endorsement from his administration of a far-right party in Europe and comes as Trump upends decades of post-World War Two security guarantees towards the continent with his "America First" foreign and trade policies.
44% : Vice President JD Vance has also publicly backed far-right groups in Europe, including the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Germany.
36% : "She suffered losses, but kept on going, and now, just before what would be a Big Victory, they get her on a minor charge that she probably knew nothing about - Sounds like a 'bookkeeping' error to me." "It is all so bad for France, and the Great French People, no matter what side they are on," Trump said.
33% : Trump called the conviction a "very big deal" on Monday, drawing parallels with his own legal entanglements.
32% : "I don't know Marine Le Pen, but do appreciate how hard she worked for so many years," Trump wrote.
32% : "The Witch Hunt against Marine Le Pen is another example of European Leftists using Lawfare to silence Free Speech, and censor their Political Opponent, this time going so far as to put that Opponent in prison," said Trump.
