Trump Says France Faces “Out of Control Mass Migration”
Trump claims what is happening in France is not about schools but about Islam wanting to take over a “once great Country.”.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump said France faces “out of control mass migration,” claiming the situation in the country is driven by Islam’s desire to “take over a once great Country.”
Trump framed the issue as extending beyond domestic policy debates over education, asserting that schools are not the central concern. The post offered no specific data, policy proposals, or sourcing for the claims.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “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! President DJT” on October 6, 2026 at 11:25 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 7th message released today, and the last post was 1 hour ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 53 of his 591 posts over the last 30 days classified as Foreign Policy posts.

Trump did not specify which events in France prompted the post. France, the European Union’s second-largest economy by gross domestic product, has faced recurring political debates over immigration and integration policies for decades. The post did not reference any particular legislation, election, protest, or incident.
The claim that Islam seeks to “take over” France reflects language Trump has used in prior posts about European immigration. Trump offered no evidence or sourcing in this post. French officials have not issued public responses to the remarks.
Immigration remains a divisive political topic across Europe. French law separates religion from the state under the principle of laïcité, enshrined since 1905. Trump’s post did not address any specific French policy or legal framework.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. 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."
