Caption: Trump Blames France's Mass Protests On Migration And Islam. U.S. President Donald Trump blamed France's nationwide student protests on what he called "out of control mass migration" and Islam. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed the demonstrations were not about schools and said Islam was seeking to "take over" France. The protests, however, began over demands for improved school conditions, including concerns about staff shortages, overcrowded classrooms and deteriorating buildings. Demonstrations have since spread across France and remained largely peaceful, although several incidents of violence have been reported. Concerns have also been raised about police tactics after one student reportedly lost a hand and another was left blind in one eye. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu defended the police response to the demonstrations on Tuesday. Trump’s comments came less than a month before the U.S. midterm elections as he campaigns on immigration and deportation policies. The protests have also become a major political issue in France as parties compete to succeed President Emmanuel Macron's government next year.
