France’s most powerful conservative, right-wing political party has had a transformative leader since 2022, who could be their candidate in next year’s presidential elections. However, if Jordan Bardella becomes France’s next president, he won’t be Donald Trump’s ally in Europe. The 30-year-old leader of the National Rally has recently been working to create distance between his political movement and the United States president he once openly admired.
In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, the French politician characterized the American president’s behavior as being “not only erratic but also extremely unsteady and constantly shifting.” When asked how he currently views Trump, Bardella noted that it changes frequently, stating, “It depends on the day. There’s a Monday attitude, a Tuesday attitude, a Wednesday attitude.”
