U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday attributed widespread student protests in France to migration and Islam, rejecting protesters’ stated focus on conditions in schools.
“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 wrote on Truth Social.
French students have blocked entrances to hundreds of high schools since late September while demanding better conditions. The protests have included sporadic clashes with security forces, and about 250,000 demonstrators took to the streets across France on Tuesday, according to AFP.
Trump and allies in his Make America Great Again movement have circulated footage of the unrest while arguing for stricter immigration policies in the United States and Europe. Trump ally Glenn Beck described the unrest Monday as “a clear warning to the rest of the West.” The comments come ahead of U.S. midterm elections next month.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Two attribution/detail issues can be fixed while leaving the story otherwise intact. - "according to an AFP report published by The Punch": The source excerpt says AFP at the end and The Punch published it, but the story's attribution wording could misleadingly make The Punch the source of the specific 250,000 figure rather than AFP. - "as Republicans campaign to retain control of Congress": The source says Republicans risk losing control of Congress, not that they are campaigning to retain control of Congress.
