FLASHBACK — Trump in 2016: ‘France is No Longer France’
The National Pulse ^ | 07/03/23 | JAKE WELCH

Former President Donald J. Trump was one of the first global leaders to acknowledge the migration-driven social unrest in France, telling the media that ‘France is no longer France’ and predicting that things would only worsen. Trump’s 2016 comments came after the murder of Catholic priest Jacques Hamel at the hands of two Muslim men.

Trump said at the time:

“You see what happened to the French priest. A friend of mine, he said he was going to France like three or four months ago. I saw him yesterday. I said how did you like France? He said, I wouldn’t go to France… [b]ecause France is no longer France: France is no longer France.”

“They won’t like me for saying that, but you see what happened in Nice, you see what happened yesterday with the priest who was supposed to be a spectacular man: France is no longer France,” Trump reiterated.

“It’s only going to get worse, and it’s going to start getting bad in our country. We’re letting people come in by the tens of thousands,” he added.

Trump’s predictions have been realized countless times in France and across Europe. In the last month alone, France witnessed a Syrian asylum seeker stabbing babies in a park in Annecy, shortly followed by nationwide riots after a migrant-background teen was shot by French police.

Water cannons would be like First Communion to these Gaia worshipers.

“France is no longer France.”
