Largest French newspaper on Trump win: 'End of an American world'
Le Monde, the largest French newspaper, is bemoaning Donald Trump's victory in the American presidential election this week.
Trump's election "marks the end of an American era, that of an open superpower committed to the world, eager to set itself up as a democratic model," the newspaper wrote in an editorial published Thursday, saying that model "had been challenged over the past two decades. Now, Trump's return is putting a nail in its coffin."
The newspaper's editorial, titled "The end of an American world," was first highlighted by Mediaite.
"There is a real risk that Europe will be divided or even fractured by such a prospect," the newspaper wrote. "This threat is existential for the European Union, and its leaders need to be aware of it and prepared to confront it, without waiting for Trump to take office – they are long overdue."
The outlet also took a shot at billionaire Trump booster Elon Musk, whom it called "the iconoclastic CEO turned eminence grise."
"Trump's voters chose him in full consciousness, as did the business and tech leaders who rallied behind him," Le Monde concluded. "The rest of the world will suffer."
