Donald Trump's re-election as President of the United States has ignited a heated debate within French media circles.

Prominent CNews presenter Pascal Praud criticized the French media for their coverage, accusing them of ideological bias and failing to recognize Trump's strategic campaign.

This sentiment echoes a broader discontent among French citizens, with a recent Odoxa-Backbone Consulting poll revealing that 76% of French people are unhappy with Trump's victory.

Despite this, Trump's success is seen by some as a rejection of 'wokism' and a triumph of populist values, drawing parallels with French political figures like Marine Le Pen.

The election results have also sparked discussions on the representativeness of media and political elites, highlighting a disconnect between them and the general populace.

As France observes these developments, questions arise about the potential implications for its own political landscape.
