“You're letting everybody from the world come in”
Reported October 20, 2026 by dailymail.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Speaking to reporters before a Kansas rally on Monday, President Donald Trump was asked about claims that French President Emmanuel Macron had blamed him for the unrest in France. Trump initially challenged the question and the reporter’s credibility, then apologized after learning she represented The Daily Wire and answered. He called Macron a friend and said he had long told the French leader that France erred by allowing large numbers of people from around the world; he also said Macron should have closed the borders. The demonstrations started with teachers and students protesting staff shortages and rising prices and grew into a broader movement. Macron blamed far-left factions and criminals for the violence, with nearly 2,400 arrests and about 1,000 police and gendarme injuries reported.
