The next round will tell the tale. LePen has distanced herself from Trump because the French really hate him. Hopefully, it will be enough to keep her out of office.

If so he needs to keep doing it. Especially since they hate him.

I suppose that the three candidates other than Le Pen will support the one of them that faces her.

Macron will easily win against le pen in the second round. Being center left he attracts people from both sides. Le pen, not so much.

like Le pen to make it this high in the elections. They are exactly alike and they are cheering her on.

They are all calling their supporters to vote for macron in the second round. Both the socialists and the republicans.
