WASHINGTON D.C. — Trump: “When you see burning steeples and raging fires in France, just remember that is what the Radical Democrats want to do to America. Democrats are the party of anti-Western Marxists and hostile third world migrants.”.
Donald J. Trump pointed to recent violent protests in France during a Kansas campaign rally on October 19, 2026, to warn voters of potential U.S. instability if Democrats win the midterms.
Opponents criticize the rhetoric as a strategy to leverage European unrest to promote his strict immigration policies.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
