Rabat – François Hollande warns that if Trump wins then it could result a rightwing shift in world politics.
French president François Hollande has claimed that if US presidential nominee wins the general election in November then it could potentially shift world politics to the right, adding that Trump makes people “want to retch”.
If Trump achieves victory in November then it could also have an impact on France’s presidential election in 2017, claims Hollande.
“If the Americans choose Trump, that will have consequences, because an American election is a world election,” he said.
“It could lead to a very strong turn to the right in the world, or to a correction … the American campaign shows issues that will be reflected in the French campaign.”
“His excesses make you want to retch, even in the United States, especially when – as was Donald Trump’s case – he speaks ill of a soldier, of the memory of a soldier,” he states, making reference to Trump’s controversial remarks in regards to a US Muslim soldier killed in Iraq back in 2004.
When speaking about politicians in general, Hollande says that “they should be respected when they are respectable.”
