Trump warns US could face France's fate if Democrats win November elections

President Donald Trump warned that the US could face a fate similar to France's if Democrats win the November elections, describing France as a once-great nation "conquered, looted, and burned" by migrants, jihadists, and communists. Speaking at a campaign rally in Kansas, Trump used France's ongoing unrest to argue that Democratic policies would bring similar instability to America, blaming "globalist left-wing politicians" in Europe for migrant influx and turmoil. He promised supporters he would prevent such a scenario, while protesters repeatedly interrupted the event, with at least five people removed. The warning comes as Republicans face a difficult electoral landscape ahead of November 3, 2026, with polls showing Democrats leading by roughly 49-50% to 42%, amid inflation, high fuel prices, and the Iran war. France itself is experiencing severe violence, with over 2,000 arrests and widespread arson and looting following protests over education and living costs.
