Trump Weighs In On France Mayhem With Warning Over Illegal Immigration And Islam

President Donald Trump weighed in on the unrest convulsing France, blaming mass migration and Islam in a Truth Social post. He wrote that the turmoil was "not about schools" but about Islam wanting to take over the country. The remarks came as a student-led protest movement entered a third round and grew more confrontational, according to Daily Wire.

The movement began with grievances over decaying school buildings, crowded timetables and too few teachers. On Tuesday, hundreds of thousands of high schoolers again blocked their campuses. Daily Wire reports that French media counted roughly 250,000 participants nationwide, whereas the organizers put the figure near 450,000. Police and demonstrators scuffled in Paris, and trouble also erupted in Lyon and Strasbourg. According to France's Interior Ministry, officers have made over 6,000 arrests since September 28, with more than 5,000 people detained, mostly minors, and hundreds hurt.

Teachers' unions, the CGT labor federation, the Socialist Party and Jean-Luc Mélenchon's La France Insoumise have now backed the students, and a radical farmers' union urged members to bring tractors. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu told the National Assembly that La France Insoumise tolerates violence because it serves a political agenda of sowing chaos before next year's presidential election.
