President Trump on Monday lit up French President Emmanuel Macron for the ongoing rioting and looting across France, calling on the French President to close the borders, saying that he should have done so “a long time ago.”
Mobs of Marxists and foreigners have destroyed homes and businesses, attacked police officers and first responders, and even used makeshift flamethrowers to attack innocent bystanders.
Reports cite the cost of living, underfunded public schools, and declining public services for the riots, but Trump blames the failed leftwing policies of French President Emmanuel Macron for “letting everybody from the world come in.”
Trump was asked about reports that Macron blamed the violent riots on the war with Iran and rising gas prices, and he initially dismissed the reporter as “fake news” before finding out she was with the Daily Wire.
“I don’t think he is. No, I think that’s fake news,” Trump said. “Oh, Daily Wire’s good. Sorry, Daily Wire is good,” Trump added, laughing after Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan identified herself.
“Emmanuel, look, he’s a friend of mine. I told him a long time ago, you’re making a big mistake in France. You’re letting everybody from the world come in. The whole world was coming in, and you know, as you know, Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon,” he continued.
“I told Emmanuel you should close up your borders, and let’s see, I’ve known him for probably eight or nine years. I told him, as soon as I met him, I said, ‘you’re making a big mistake.’ We closed our borders. He didn’t, and you know what? His borders are a problem, and he also has a little bit of a problem with energy.”
“But Emanuel should have closed his borders a long time ago. I told him to do it,” Trump added.

Trump went on to tell another reporter, “What’s happening in France has to do with immigration, not schools, not anything. It’s immigration, and I told President Macron, ‘close up your borders!’”
“I told him the first time I met him, which was years ago in my first term, ‘close up your borders. You’re gonna have nothing but trouble,’ and they’ve got a lot of trouble,” he added, noting that aliens have no respect for the native cultures of Western civilization.
“They let people into their country that don’t love their country, they don’t love their buildings, they don’t love their art. And I said the first time I met Macron, I said ‘you got to close up your your borders. You’re going to ruin your country,’ and they’ve ruined their country. It’s going to be hard to get it back, but hopefully France will come back.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump also responded to the riots over the weekend, calling on France to close its borders.
“France is burning! The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has shattered that once great country,” he said. “Close your Borders and take control, before it is too late!”
