Fascist-friendly Trump decided to counter PBO’s phone call with the moderate candidate in the weekend’s French presidential election by touting Marine Le Pen.
Le Pen thinks her recent Trump Tower visit was ignored by MSM. And then there’s that Russian money and the micro-targeting bots in social media… reminding us of what... #TrumpRussia?
In a just-published interview with the Associated Press, Donald Trump all but endorsed Marie Le Pen, the ultra-nationalist, Nazi-coddling leader of France’s far-right National Front party in the upcoming French elections.
Trump said Le Pen was the “strongest on borders, and she’s the strongest on what’s been going on in France,” though he held off from calling his comments an official endorsement. But, for a man whose entire career has been spent blowing dog whistles through megaphones, it’s hard to misinterpret his obvious affection for the face of 21st century French fascism (and yes, French courts have ruled that it’s okay to call her a fascist).

We all remember the accuracy of polling (or at least the reliability of polling firms) from our own recent election.
A last-minute Odoxa poll taken after the attack suggested that Mr Macron was still on course to come first in Sunday’s first round, with Ms Le Pen just behind and through to the May 7 runoff…
Opinion polls have for months forecast that Le Pen would make it through to the run-off, but then lose in the final vote.
Given the margin of error, none of the leading four candidates is a sure bet to reach the final.
All hope to woo the third of French voters still undecided.
