President Emmanuel Macron has condemned what he calls “unacceptable and stupid comments from foreign leaders” about the ongoing protests in France.
Macron said Wednesday that foreign leaders — including those "on the other side of the Atlantic" — were seeking to exploit France's tense social climate for political gain following a weekend of street violence and looting.
Protests over soaring living costs have led to widespread rioting and looting that have drawn worldwide attention and shocked many French citizens. President Trump has used the violence to rally his political supporters, making unsubstantiated claims that "migrants" and "jihadists" are responsible for the unrest, and urging Macron to "close your borders and take control before it is too late."

Macron charges each French taxpayer $3,000 per year for security, a lot of money in a country that is poorer per-capita than any U.S. state. Are the taxpayers receiving anything in exchange? (Calculation: France has a $25 billion/year national police budget, an additional multi-$billion/year local police budget, and a $57 billion/year military budget. INSEE says that 44% of the French are net taxpayers (not receiving more from the government than they pay in), i.e., about 30 million people.) – at Jupiter, FL

"...unsubstantiated claims..."?
A religious war is underway in Europe. Paris, in front of the Shinzo store. A man stops the group that wanted to get in and says: "Do not loot this store, it belongs to a Muslim sister." The implication is clear: they are the ones destroying everything. So one has to wonder: if it had been the store of one of our Christian sisters, would it have been burned down and looted?
So dumb. We know their was a cost of living protest. Non violent, getting attention. Then the commies, antifas, and the pro paletards use that as cover to riot and destroy like usual, and dumb news outlets and politicians still say it's a "cost of living "protest"'. Idiots. Can't solve things if you refuse to diagnose them accurately.
