To be fair, Farage did the same, was found guilty. UK out of EU so NO political repercussions for him or his company, which was shut down and re-made as UKIP now Reform. I think he just had to pay back the money (canβt remember exactly, but it is public info)

La Pen railed against embezzlement in the EU, advocated the severest of punishment. To be so close and face electoral guillotine β¦ that is harsh punishment indeed. π

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesnβt want to govern. He doesnβt want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
