Donald Trump intervenes forcefully in the violent protests wreaking havoc in France, blaming immigration for the unrest and then proposing his own prescription: a draconian tightening of immigration policies. "France is on fire! The immigration of people from a completely different world, people with hate in their hearts, has shattered what was once a great country," the US president wrote in Truth.
"Close the borders and regain control before it's too late!" the tycoon added, shortly thereafter posting a video demonstrating the scale of the devastation wrought by the rioters. During his tour de force across the various states of the Union in support of Republican candidates ahead of the delicate November midterms, The Donald has consistently called from every stage for "zeroing" illegal immigration flows, in response to the porous nature of Joe Biden's policies, and for the fight by ICE agents, the agency operating in this sector under the Department of Homeland Security, who hunt down illegal and undocumented immigrants.
The tycoon's wasn't the administration's only attack on Paris, which is grappling with the widespread damage caused by the violence and the resulting mounting pressure on President Emmanuel Macron six months before the election to succeed him. Just hours before his post on Truth, Vice President J.D. Vance also expressed similar, harsh tones regarding events in France: "Western liberals have imported the Third World into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They have ignored fundamental issues like assimilation and compatibility. They were warned it would come to this, but they didn't listen," Vance wrote in a post on X. Sharing a dramatic video of the Limoges town hall fire, the vice president added that he prayed "that France, a wonderful country, inhabited by extraordinary people, puts an end to this madness, before more of its monuments go up in flames."
Then a dig at domestic American affairs. "I hope Americans are paying attention: this is the future that Democrats in Congress want for your country," added Vance, a potential candidate for the 2028 presidential election, drawing a parallel between the turbulence in France and the upcoming midterm congressional elections on November 3, the outlook for which is not at all positive for Republicans.
