Jean-Marie Le Pen endorses Trump days after ex-KKK leader urges support
Ex-leader of French far-right party tweets that if he were American he would
vote for the Republican frontrunner, as Trump disavows David Duke endorsement

Donald Trump received a vote of confidence on Saturday from Jean-Marie Le Pen, the former leader of Frances Front National who in the past has said the Nazi occupation was not particularly inhumane and suggested Ebola could solve Europes immigration problem.
If I were American, I would vote Donald Trump, Le Pen tweeted on Saturday about the Republican frontrunner for president. But may God protect him!
Trumps ascendance in American politics began with his promises to build a big, beautiful wall along the US-Mexican border, derogatory comments about Mexicans, and a promise to deport 11 million undocumented people.
Le Pen founded Front National, a far-right party that campaigns mostly on anti-immigration policies.
Donald Trump Jr retweeted about Le Pen, albeit indirectly. The billionaires eldest son quoted an editor at rightwing news site Breitbart who declared: Trump has become the international leader of the populist revolt against the elites.

Trump and the European far-right have much in common. Only the accents differ. n/t
