Trump Predicts Paris Will Become 'Muslim City' Amid French Riots
US President Donald Trump predicts Paris will become a Muslim city very soon as riots, looting, and violent protests rage across France. Trump blames the escalating civil unrest on mass migration and criticizes French President Emmanuel Macron for failing to close borders or properly restrict immigration policies. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has joined Trump in claiming the French protests are evidence of migrant chaos and European decline. Authorities in France have responded to the ongoing unrest by imposing localized curfews.
Why it matters
The recent wave of violent demonstrations in France stems from public anger over living costs and poor public services. Donald Trump has capitalized on the unrest to warn domestic audiences, telling Kansans that the United States would burn like France if Democrats win upcoming elections. His commentary borrows heavily from far-right talking points, echoing his own mass-deportation campaigns by urging French leadership to remove bad actors.
