      Stop What You’re Doing And Watch This French Senator’s Take On Trump, Musk
      Beware the “ketamine-fueled jester.”
      By Ryan Grenoble Mar 6, 2025, 05:58 PM EST

      A French politician by the name of Claude Malhuret has unexpectedly gained a global following after an eight-minute address to his colleagues in the French Senate on Tuesday went viral.

      The speech offers a clear-eyed assessment of President Donald Trump’s alarming efforts to destroy democracy both in America and abroad, aided by Elon Musk, whom he refers to as “a ketamine-fueled jester.”

      “Never in history has a President of the United States capitulated to the enemy,” said Malhuret, reflecting on Trump’s baffling subservience to Russian President Vladimir Putin and constant belittling of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “Never has anyone supported an aggressor against an ally.”

      He continued: “We were at war with a dictator, now we are fighting a dictator backed by a traitor.”

      The center-right politician then proceeded to make a compelling case for how Putin sees the world, how Trump’s “shipwreck” will embolden Chinese President Xi Jinping, and how Europe must rebuild its own defense capabilities in the face of a crumbling American shield.

      Malhuret wasn’t all doom and gloom, however, ending his speech with a stirring call to action in the face of an admitted ‘Herculean task.’”

      “But in American history, the freedom fighters have always prevailed. They are beginning to raise their heads,” he said, noting Republican politicians’ tanking polling and their terror of attending their own town halls.

      “Our parents defeated fascism and communism at great cost. The task of our generation is to defeat the totalitarianisms of the 21st century.

      “Long live free Ukraine, long live democratic Europe.”
