Fox News and others have toed president’s line – seemingly hoping unrest abroad will make people vote Republican Donald Trump sought to capitalize on the scenes of unrest in France, telling a crowd in Kansas on Monday that “migrants” and “communists” were responsible, and that the scenes were “what the radical ‘Dumocrats’ want to do to America”.

Each country’s protesters have distinct grievances. Listen to them, not the voices telling us Europe is ungovernable Last Saturday night, the town hall of Limoges in west-central France was set ablaze . By Sunday, images of the fire destroying a symbol of the French republic, and other scenes of unrest across France , were everywhere, but being used to tell very different stories about what is happening in Europe. For some, the flames announced a pan-European youth revolt , proof that a single movement was sweeping the continent. Donald Trump, who had already insisted that the French schools protests were not about schools but about migration and Islam , urged Europeans to “close the borders”. The mayor of Limoges saw the fingerprints of an alleged ultra-left insurrection. Alberto Alemanno is the Jean Monnet professor of EU law at HEC Paris and the founder of The Good Lobby Continue reading...

French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized foreign leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, saying they exploit unrest in France for political gain

Macron says he is frustrated by the ‘visible manipulation of information’ about the events in France Meanwhile, back to Witkoff’s meeting with Putin in St Petersburg, the US president, Donald Trump, has just welcomed the release of Stephen Hubbard, a US citizen held by Moscow on allegations of fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine ( 11:24 ). In a post on Truth Social, he said : “Stephen Hubbard, taken four years ago by Russia during the Biden Administration, was just released from prison, at the request of President Donald J. Trump, made directly to President Vladimir Putin in a telephone conversation last week. Stephen is on his way back home and will soon be with his family.

Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump are arsonists who play at being firefighters. Nigel Farage is finding that act harder to pull off in Andy Burnham’s Britain An election where one side represents chaos will nearly always be won by the party that promises order instead. Public fatigue after years of turbulent Tory rule accounted for Labour’s 2024 landslide victory more than any policy in Keir Starmer’s manifesto. Across the Channel, Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally (RN), is currently on course to win next year’s presidential poll with a pledge of “restored authority and security” for a country that has spent years cycling between enervating stasis and explosive crisis. Le Pen has been boosted in recent days by scenes of city centres ablaze and shops being looted as student demonstrations mutated into riots. Street confrontation is a more standard feature of the political repertoire in France than in most settled democracies, but the destruction was disturbing by any measure. Rafael Behr is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

President Trump is issuing an ominous message to supporters, warning that Democratic control of Congress would lead to chaos and destruction in his closing midterm pitch two weeks out from Election Day. Trump sought to tie the protests and riots rocking France to the U.S. during a rally in Kansas on Monday, saying the U.S....

President Trump said the massive rioting in France is "a full-on revolution" born out of overzealous immigration that risks destabilizing all of Europe.

As the French right-wing National Rally is seizing on fiery protests in the country for its pre-election pitch, so are President Trump and his Republican allies in the U.S. The big picture: The Trump administration has used the unrest, which began over education grievances , to bolster its messaging on immigration and the threat of "communists," a group Trump has repeatedly claimed is threatening American civilization. Driving the news: "When you see burning steeples and raging fires in France, just remember that is what the radical 'Dumocrats' want to do to America," Trump said before a Kansas rally crowd Monday. He claimed France was being "conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists and communists who hate Christianity" and "the Western civilization itself." Speaking earlier to reporters, the president claimed, without evidence, that the situation in France was about "immigration, not schools." He's repeatedly blamed immigration for the protests. The White House referred Axios to the president's Truth Social post echoing that rhetoric. Catch up quick: Localized demonstrations by high school students that began in Paris last month have broadened into a massive nationwide movement over poor school conditions and costs of living, sparking thousands of arrests and clashes between police and protesters, Axios' Bec Falconer reports. The civil unrest gave way to rioting and looting, leading French President Emmanuel Macron to condemn "unrestrained violence" by "insurrectionist elements from radical far-left groups, joined by numerous criminals," per the AP . Some 550,000 people demonstrated in France Saturday, per the interior ministry, though Reuters reported that a key union estimated 800,000. On the sidelines, "thugs" chose "violence," per a translation of the interior ministry's statement , which added that some 500 police officers and firefighters were injured. The forceful police response to student demonstrators has also been scrutinized , sparking dozens of probes into officer conduct. Zoom out: Other U.S. Republicans have followed Trump in evoking the protests, which have spread to other countries , to rally voters and condemn immigration . Vice President Vance wrote on X, " Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion," sharing a video of a historic town hall reportedly set ablaze by masked protesters, per AFP. "This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country," Vance contended. Yes, but: Macron, per a translation of his nationwide address over the weekend protests, said the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators had " legitimate demands" and should not be conflated with violent rioters. He said those concerns included the cost of living and fuel price spikes triggered by the war in Iran. The bottom line: The spiraling violence has created global shock that Trump is harnessing as a boogeyman ahead of an uphill midterm battle.
