Trump Warns US Could 'Burn Like France' If Democrats Win
President Donald Trump used violent unrest in France as a campaign argument in Kansas, warning that similar chaos could hit the US if his political opponents win upcoming elections. His approval rating has meanwhile fallen to a low of 31 percent. Trump said burning churches in France represent what "radical Democrats" want for America, while campaigning for Republican Senator Roger Marshall, whose reelection in the traditionally conservative state is considered at risk. The tight race reflects Republican difficulties ahead of November 3 midterm elections. Voter frustration over the Iran conflict and rising prices are cited as reasons for the headwinds. Marshall's Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton campaigns against Trump's tariff policy and "erratic leadership."
