Trump: "Protests and riots all over France. Chanting "We Want Trump!" Love France."

Donald J. Trump

The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting “We Want Trump!” Love France.

Some video from Brexit taken in England is being passed off as a French protest

It's a complete fabrication.

The POTUS of our great nation lies every day

What sort of people lie all the time?

Criminals, thieves, grifters, cheaters, adulterers, and children.

The bigger question, what sort of people believe these lies?

In all seriousness, I’ve been around a lot of people with dementia and one of the hallmarks of the condition is that they tend to just make stuff up because they can’t remember or understand what’s real. Trump is classic dementia.

Fact-checking, it's a thing. Shut down the lies, rather than take a head-in-the-sand approach.

They want a more equal political and fiscal system, including the reintroduction of the tax on the mega-rich (from 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent, starting from incomes worth more than €800,000), which Macron abolished after his election. Crucially, they want Macron, also known as the “president of the rich,” gone.

Reporting from the streets of Paris, they haven't heard any reports of anybody chanting they want Rump.

France24 reporting these protests are basically opposing their "President of the rich" (Macron) and his neoliberal policies. (In the spirit of Rump and Republicans,) he canceled the wealth tax on the rich and now he's tried to increase already high taxes on gasoline that people in more rural areas without public transportation need just to live. Gasoline already costs over $6.00 a gallon in France.

The French know their way around protests and revolution.
