Trump criticizes French protests for not focusing on his priorities

By James McAuley November 25 at 12:31 PM

PARIS — Once again, President Trump sounded off against France — this time, against protests that have garnered a lot of international attention.

What set him off? Apparently, thousands of people taking to the streets to ask for something that did not involve American interests.

In Trump’s eyes, the protests — held across France for the second Saturday in a row — had failed to take into consideration what he views as unfair trade deals between Europe and the United States.

“The large and violent French protests don’t take into account how badly the United States has been treated on Trade by the European Union or on fair and reasonable payments for our GREAT military protection,” Trump wrote. “Both of these topics must be remedied soon.”

That's just a rhetorical question, of course.

Maybe here in the US we should have huge demonstrations protesting Brexit.

Trump wanted to be an opera singer, but he couldn't warm up beyond singing "Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me."
