Wednesday morning, Donald Trump had not yet proclaimed his victory when Marion Maréchal was already spreading the word on X to congratulate him on his triumph. “Now, our turn to Make France and Europe great again!”wrote the nationalist MEP, revisiting the Republican candidate’s campaign slogan. Invited this Thursday on TF1, the niece of Marine Le Pen once again expressed her delight at seeing the Republican back in business.

“Donald Trump’s strength has been to counter this woke, racialist reading of society.”greeted Marion Maréchal, seeing his victory as a “counter-revolution woke. “We imagined that this progressive reading of society was, in some respects, inexorable. Now, we can see that Donald Trump is succeeding in rallying people around him.”party president Identité Libertéswhich, however, refuses to call itself “trumpist”.

“Are you black or white?”

For the MEP, the resounding failure of Kamala Harriswhich she describes as “a cross between Anne Hidalgo and Sandrine Rousseau”.is part of its identity strategy. “She tried to frame this election around three questions: are you a man or a woman? Are you black or white? Are you homosexual or heterosexual?” Conversely, Donald Trump has managed to “rally Americans around the flag, labor and order in the face of illegal immigration.”analyses Marion Maréchal.

In particular, the president of the Identité Libertés party extolled the benefits of the wall installed, under President Trump, on the border with Mexico. A facility designed to prevent the arrival of migrants, which she imagines will be replicated in Europe, in the Balkans. However, Marion Maréchal made it clear that she does not fully support the Republican billionaire’s program, “I’m French, he’s American and, moreover, he drastically defends American interests.”she stressed, calling the European Union to emerge from a “a form of naiveté and a race for free trade to return, like the Americans, to a logic of market protection in the face of unfair competition.”.

For Marine Le Pen’s niece, Donald Trump’s return to the White House as the 47th President of the United States, “says something about political evolutions”. To the point of taking a leaf out of the Republican’s outrageous strategy? “Trump’s style is very American; I’m not sure it’s importable to France.”Marion Maréchal considers.
