Macron slams Trump's 'stupid' remarks and fake AI images on French riots

French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized Donald Trump and other foreign leaders for exploiting France's social unrest for political gain, calling their comments "stupid" and accusing them of spreading false information, including AI-generated images. Macron responded to Trump's unsubstantiated claims that Muslim migrants caused the rioting and his urging to "close your borders," saying foreign manipulation of information led to unacceptable remarks. He denied claims of migrant invasions as "completely false," while French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot offered clarification to countries to prevent amplifying misinformation. More protests are planned in France this week, with a "massive" security operation scheduled for Saturday. Macron secured additional diesel supplies from Gulf states during a tour, addressing cost-of-living concerns that fueled the unrest, though it remains unclear if the measures will ease protesters' anger.
