Trump has come out strongly in defense of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen after a Paris court barred her from holding political office for five years.
Trump accused European leftists of using ālawfareā to silence opposition, calling the conviction a āwitch hunt.ā The court found Le Pen guilty of misusing EU funds, a charge she denies as politically motivated.
Trump warned the move was ābad for Franceā and an attack on free speech.
Le Pen can no longer challenge Macron in the 2027 French presidential elections.

Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke wallsāand built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage.
