As Donald Trump and his supporters continue to insist that the world “respects” our country again, French lawmaker Claude Malhuret made it quite clear that that is not the case in a savage takedown he delivered in parliament this week.
The French senator took direct aim at Trump and his Cabinet members, including RFK Jr, Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and Tulsi Gabbard, while speaking to parliament, calling out every one of them for turning Washington DC into a circus.
“A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump’s presidency to Nero’s Court,” Malhuret said. “I was wrong – it’s the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as minister of health, a climate skeptic minister of economy, an alcoholic TV anchor, minister of the armed forces, an old Qatar agent, minister of justice, a groupie of Putin, minister of national security.”
Indeed, Trump and his Cabinet are a collection of unqualified hacks who are abusing their positions to enrich themselves and enact their own personal agendas, all of which are detrimental to the nation and the American people. Malhuret went on to note that Trump’s actions in Iran are seemingly meant to distract from the Epstein files.
“A Turkish proverb says, ‘When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king; it is the palace that becomes a circus,” he continued. “This great team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term. Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction. Bomb more to win more.”
Malhuret also saved a salvo for Republicans in Congress, who have surrendered their own power by refusing to conduct oversight and act as a check on the presidency as the Constitution prescribes.
“There isn’t a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to get rich without ever forgetting his family,” Malhuret said. “A Boeing plane offered by Qatar, investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere, market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from. Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here. But we are not here. We are in MAGA’s America, where public business is conducted in favor of private interests.”
Is this the respect Donald Trump has been talking about? Because it sounds a lot more like contempt for the United States instead. One of our closest allies, the ally without whom our independence may not have been possible, is lambasting our country for refusing to hold Trump and his minions accountable for their corruption and crimes.
And you can bet that France is not the only country that has an unfavorable view of the United States. Disdain for our country is higher than ever before, and they want us to do something about it. We cannot survive two more years of Trump and MAGA. We must purge it or risk becoming a world pariah on a scale that even North Korea could never reach.
