There are levels to influence. Macron and Trump were widely recognized as candidate before the election. This guy in Romania was at 5%, no one knew who he was, then suddenly he's at 20+%. That's next level.

You think that having bad press, as Trump had, was bad - that's not true at all, there is no such thing as bad press. The fact that the media in the US all went against him was just a freebie for Trump in terms of exposure.

Here, on the other hand, no media outlet reported on him, which is very different - yet mysteriously he got 20% from TikTok alone.

So yes, it's good to remove him.
