10月6日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将法国大规模学生抗议活动归咎于“大规模移民”和“伊斯兰教”，借此宣扬其全球右翼政治主张，为即将到来的中期选举造势。
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, October 6, blamed mass student protests in France on "mass migration" and "Islam," pushing his global right-wing narrative ahead of tough midterm elections at home.
自9月下旬起，法国学生纷纷封锁全国数百所中学的入口，要求改善教学条件。这些抗议活动后来演变为与安全部队的零星冲突。当天，全法国有超过25万名示威者走上街头。
French students have blocked the entrances to hundreds of high schools across the country since late September to demand better conditions, in protests that have descended into sporadic clashes with security forces. More than a quarter of a million demonstrators took to the streets across France on Tuesday.
然而，特朗普及其政府长期将欧洲的社会问题归咎于移民，呼吁欧洲关闭边境，并呼应极右翼政党的观点，警告所谓的“文明衰退”。
But Trump and his administration have long blamed European social issues on migration, calling on Europe to shut its borders and echoing far-right parties by warning of what they call civilizational decline.
特朗普在Truth Social社交平台上写道：“法国当前的局势完全是由失控的大规模移民导致的。这根本不是学校的问题，而是伊斯兰教企图掌控这个曾经伟大的国家！”
"What's happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration. This isn't about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动的核心人物正借法国抗议事件来强化有关移民问题的论点，为下个月的中期选举服务。MAGA阵营的评论员们反复发布法国骚乱的视频。特朗普的盟友格伦·贝克周一称：“法国的暴乱是对整个西方世界的一个明确警示。”由于担心特朗普的低支持率以及伊朗战争可能导致共和党失去对国会的控制权，共和党人愈发强调移民问题和反跨性别言论。
Leading voices in Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement have been using the French protests to ram home points about immigration ahead of the US midterm elections next month. MAGA commentators have repeatedly posted videos of the French unrest, with Trump ally Glenn Beck saying on Monday that the "riots in France are a clear warning to the rest of the West." Republicans have doubled down on migration and anti-transgender rhetoric amid fears that Trump's unpopularity and his Iran war risk losing them control of Congress.
