フランスのフランソワ・オランド（Francois Hollande）大統領は8月2日、米大統領選の共和党候補ドナルド・トランプ（Donald Trump）氏について、その「行き過ぎた言動は吐き気を催す」と非難した。また米国の選挙は世界の選挙なのだから」と述べた。 オランド大統領は首都パリ（Paris）で記者団を前に、「米国の話であっても、彼の行き過ぎた言動は吐き気を催すものだ。兵士や、兵士の思い出を卑しめる発言は特にそうだ」と述べた。 これは、トランプ氏が戦死したイスラム教徒の米兵の遺族との間で繰り広げる非難合戦に言及したもの。この騒動は、11月の本選まで残り3か月となった米大統領選を揺るがす問題に発展している。 オランド大統領は、トランプ氏の「有害で侮辱的な発言」を批判。さらに、米国に「著しく」みられる傾向として「権威主義により多くの人が引き付けられ、民主主義が危険にさらされている」と指摘した上で、「米国民がトランプ氏を選ぶようなことがあれば、その影響が出るだろう。米国の選挙は世界の選挙なのだから」とも付け足した。 Trump makes ‘you want to retch,’ says France’s Hollande PARIS – U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump makes “you want to retch,” French leader Francois Hollande said Tuesday, as he added his voice to a barrage of scathing criticism of the White House hopeful. “His excesses make you want to retch, even in the United States, especially when — as was Donald Trump’s case — he speaks ill of a soldier, of the memory of a soldier,” Hollande told journalists in Paris. The French leader was referring to a feud between Trump and the Muslim parents of a slain U.S. soldier, which has shaken the presidential campaign just three months before the November vote. Hollande criticized Trump’s “hurtful and humiliating comments.” The Republican campaign to retake the White House is reeling from a series of self-inflicted scandals as Trump has in recent days criticized Muslims, babies, firefighters and the military, prompting his wincing Republican backers to issue awkward denunciations. U.S. President Barack Obama also joined the fray, declaring Trump “unfit” to hold the country’s top office in his strongest rebuke yet of the 70-year-old mogul. Obama described Trump as “woefully unprepared” and “unfit to serve as president.” “He keeps proving it,” Obama added, as he called on Republican leaders to disown him. Trump swept the Republican primary, but is currently trailing Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton in general election polls by around 4 percentage points. “Democracy is also at stake, as we see more and more people tempted by authoritarianism,” Hollande said, “especially” in the U.S. “Should the American people choose Trump, there will be consequences, because a U.S. election is a global election,” he added.

Trump makes ‘you want to retch,’ says France’s Hollande
PARIS – U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump makes “you want to retch,” French leader Francois Hollande said Tuesday, as he added his voice to a barrage of scathing criticism of the White House hopeful.
“His excesses make you want to retch, even in the United States, especially when — as was Donald Trump’s case — he speaks ill of a soldier, of the memory of a soldier,” Hollande told journalists in Paris.

The French leader was referring to a feud between Trump and the Muslim parents of a slain U.S. soldier, which has shaken the presidential campaign just three months before the November vote.

Hollande criticized Trump’s “hurtful and humiliating comments.”

The Republican campaign to retake the White House is reeling from a series of self-inflicted scandals as Trump has in recent days criticized Muslims, babies, firefighters and the military, prompting his wincing Republican backers to issue awkward denunciations.

U.S. President Barack Obama also joined the fray, declaring Trump “unfit” to hold the country’s top office in his strongest rebuke yet of the 70-year-old mogul.

Obama described Trump as “woefully unprepared” and “unfit to serve as president.”

“He keeps proving it,” Obama added, as he called on Republican leaders to disown him.

Trump swept the Republican primary, but is currently trailing Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton in general election polls by around 4 percentage points.

“Democracy is also at stake, as we see more and more people tempted by authoritarianism,” Hollande said, “especially” in the U.S.

“Should the American people choose Trump, there will be consequences, because a U.S. election is a global election,” he added.
