If Marine Le Pen loses the 2017 French presidential election, how will it affect Donald Trump and international populism?

Regarding myself, MLP losing is a foregone conclusion, barring internal rivalry in LR.
We should see how much Le Pen loses. If she loses by margin within 20, then it might help Trump.
If she is obliterated by over 50 points, then it certainly supresses growing far-right groups.
If she is eliminated in the first round, the far-right will become a messed stuff.

It will not affect at all.

Now, if she WINS, then it will be the nail in the coffin of the EU and NATO.

Of the EU, perhaps. Of NATO, no.

It would hurt him by puncturing the myth of far right invincibility, having a similar impact as the Battle of Leipzig (1813) or the Soviet counterattack at the gates of Moscow (1941). A win would have the opposite effect, and people would wonder if the far right can be beaten at all.

I'm not convinced Trump even knows who Marine Le Pen is.

You make me want LePen to win now.

But no, LePen is an awful human being.
