French Senator Claude Malhuret delivered a scathing speech targeting President Donald Trump and figures linked to his administration.
“A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump’s presidency to Nero’s court. I was wrong,” Malhuret said. “It’s the miracle court.”
He then went through key figures one by one:
“An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health” (referring to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.).
“A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy” (referring to Scott Bessent).
“An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces” (referring to Pete Hegseth).
“An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice” (referring to Pam Bondi).
“A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security” (referring to Tulsi Gabbard).
He then widened his criticism, quoting a proverb:
“When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king — it is the palace that becomes a circus.”
Malhuret also raised concerns about political power, foreign influence, and conflicts of interest, arguing that such issues could trigger serious consequences in other systems.
He ended with the line that quickly went viral:
“Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction.”
The speech has since spread widely online, with supporters calling it a blunt international critique, while critics say it crosses into overheated political rhetoric.
