Donald Trump said that what is happening in France “is nothing more” than the result of “an out-of-control mass migration.” He wrote this on Truth while commenting on student protests that are once again engulfing France. “It is not about the schools; it is about Islam wanting to take control of a country that was once great,” the U.S. president wrote.

Trump’s remarks predictably drew a reaction from Paris. “All our rivals, opponents and partners are trying to describe the protests in France in their own way,” said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. “If we do not write our story, others will do it for us,” Barrot added, according to Bfmtv.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France Insoumise, wrote on X that “Mrs. Le Pen is giving him a fanciful version of the causes of the violence in France.” “As we have seen today in Paris and in several cities across France, it is a police force that answers to no one that is provoking, attacking, injuring and mutilating young demonstrators and the union members who came to protect them,” the left-wing party leader said.
