Louis 'the American' Sarkozy's return to France in his father's footsteps
ProfileThe 27-year-old, who has lived in the US for much of his life, is moving back to France for the upcoming elections. He has set himself up in a 'conservative' niche, all without hiding his admiration for Donald Trump.
"Tac, tac, tac." Louis Sarkozy fired his long gun. On January 21, Donald Trump had just been inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States when, in Ashburn (Virginia), the son of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy signed up at a shooting range, a passion he developed over 17 years of living in the US. He was accompanied by Nicolas Conquer, a Republican Party spokesman in France, in his 30s. Conquer sported a Texan-style mustache steeped in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) rhetoric so dear to Trump's supporters. Sarkozy himself praised Donald Trump and his new US "golden age" on X: "Ambition, strength, clarity, greatness."
At 27, he supports the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees Americans the right to keep and bear arms: "I've got a wife, I've got to keep mine safe," he tells anyone who would listen. By the end of February, Sarkozy will be leaving behind quite the gun collection, including a 1945 Lee-Enfield rifle, a Martini-Henry black powder rifle, a Winchester 1892 short rifle (the kind used by cowboys in Hollywood westerns), a pink Glock pistol, engraved with his beloved's first name, and a Remington Model 10 shotgun.
Ex-president Sarkozy's youngest son is coming back to France, after having grown up in New York, where he lived with his mother, Cécilia Attias, and stepfather, Richard Attias; rural Pennsylvania, where he attended a military boarding school; and the outer suburbs of Washington, Maryland, where he lived with his Croatian wife, Natali Husic, the daughter of a diplomat.
