Trump:

If the Democrats get in, this country will go into a massive depression.

They don't know what the hell they're doing.

We are going to have a depression like you've never seen.

Trump:

I'm a high IQ person.

Trump:

If we win, we are going to get you $5,000. That's it, very simple.

Marine Le Pen on Russia-Ukraine war:

Either NATO enters this war and it will be the Third World War, or we will witness a Hundred Years’ War.

This war has already lasted longer than the First World War, and nobody is talking about it.

There are 2 million victims. This is a real slaughter. It is terrible.

Marine Le Pen on Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations:

I think there needs to be Germany around the table. I think Poland and Türkiye needs to be there.

I believe that the historic role of France is precisely to create the conditions for a negotiation that precedes peace, as we did for Vietnam.

Boris Johnson — the English— are always extremely warlike, often at the request of the Americans, we have to say.

Marine Le Pen on Trump:

We would still need to know what he wanted to do there. Because for now, we still do not know what he wanted to do.

He clearly has not achieved his war aims and he is setting the whole planet on fire.

Today we are in a situation where we risk global inflation that will have consequences for all peoples.

It's better to convince the U.S. not to go and wage war against a country and an ancient civilization, a complicated country and probably much more powerful than Donald Trump imagined.

Marine Le Pen:

We confuse multicultural with multi-ethnic.

There can be countries that are multi-ethnic and that are not multicultural.

Everyone, regardless of where they come from, swears allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, and that is, so to speak, the book of American culture.

There are many countries in the world that understand this, and I believe it is true that a multicultural country is a multi-conflict country.

Marine Le Pen:

I will propose to the French a referendum whose objective is to fight against Islamist ideologies.

I think that Islamist ideologies that have inserted themselves into all sectors of our society are a major danger.

Not only for our security, but for our culture and for our rights, particularly our constitutional rights.
