Mary Trump - Vive la Dmocratie!

Thanks to our friends in Europe, democracy is back from the brink. And so is hope.

In the last week, there were major elections in the United Kingdom and France. In both, my uncle’s far-right fascist friends, led by Rishi Sunak and the vile Marine Le Pen, were handed massive losses.

In England, the Labour Party won in a landslide, ending 14 years of “conservative” rule that, from Brexit to stagnant wages, just about brought the country to its knees.

In France, Emanuel Macron built a coalition of leftists and centrists to stop right-winger Le Pen and her Donald- and Putin-loving would-be prime minister Jordan Bardella.
