Since the start of his speeches, Eric Zemmour made use of of excess and ideological fractures. A style that is not unlike that of Donald Trump.

The cover of Eric Zemmour’s latest book, France has not said its last word, is directly inspired by that of Donald Trump. And that’s not their only point in common. Indeed, thehe two men built their notoriety thanks to television. Both also share the taste for provocation, on the subject of immigration first. The American billionaire attacked the one from Mexico, while the polemicist makes similar remarks against Muslims.

The two men also attack the press, and have the same vision of the male-female relationship. On both sides of the Atlantic, their words shocked and created controversy.
