Trump claims that the US will "burn" like France if "radical democrats" come to power: "That's what they want to do".

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, used the disturbances and revolts in France as an argument against the Democratic Party in the campaign for the mid-term elections on November 3rd, according to Politico. "If you want to see what is at stake in these elections, you just have to look at what is happening in France—a once-great nation, conquered, plundered, and burned from the foundations by immigrants, jihadists, and communists who hate Christianity," Trump stated during an election rally organized in support of Republican Senator Roger Marshall, who is running for another term in Kansas. "When you see flickering candles and violent fires in France, remember that is what radical democrats in America want to do," the White House leader added. While urging the rally participants to vote for Republicans in the view of the midterm elections on November 3rd, Trump reiterated the "threat" perceived in France, where violent revolts, raids, and acts of vandalism took place amid mass protests over the weekend. At least 550,000 people took to the streets on Saturday to protest against the cost of living and the conditions in the education system. The Minister of the Interior stated that 2,397 people were arrested and that 997 law enforcement agents were injured, seven of whom were seriously wounded. A protester died on Saturday in Paris following a cardiopulmonary stop, authorities specified. On Monday, local curfews were imposed in some cities. Vice President JD Vance also used the protests in France as a springboard to promote his party on Sunday: "Western liberals brought the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored the fundamental aspects related to assimilation and compatibility," he wrote on X, adding: "I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future that Democrats in Congress want for your country." The midterm elections to come will decide who will hold control of Congress in the last two years of Trump's term, in a situation where Republicans are currently facing a significant decline in popular support.
