France's President Emmanuel Macron is currently learning a hard lesson in global governance: ignoring reality does not stop shop windows from being boarded up with plywood. Following a weekend where over 3,000 shops were looted and 2,500 people arrested across France, the U.S. State Department has officially declared that President Donald Trump was entirely correct in his assessment of the chaos.
Trump pointed out the obvious during a recent rally, stating that the nation is being "looted and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists and communists who hate Christianity" and "the Western civilization itself." He added that "the migrants have taken over France" and that the country needs to finally secure its borders. Of course, he repeated each point at least three times, but that's Trump for ya.
Predictably, Paris reacted not by securing the streets, but by clutching its collective European pearls and having the vapors.
Macron lashed out at foreign leaders, labeling their remarks "unacceptable and stupid comments" while whining about phantom AI-generated misinformation. He insisted that claims of the country being overrun by hordes of migrants are completely false.
State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott gave a much-needed dose of common sense in response to Macron's temper tantrum, telling Fox News Digital that Trump "is on point as he is consistently on point."
"He has been clear about the dangers of mass migration for years, especially since the beginning of this administration, but certainly long beforehand as well. The president has secured the border on day one when it comes to the United States of America," Pigott said. "But we've also been clear from the State Department's perspective that we are going to oppose international institutions, for example, that seek to impose an agenda upon sovereign nations to encourage mass migration."
While European technocrats continue to lecture everyone else on utopian multiculturalism, the Louvre and major museums in Paris are shutting their doors in preparation for yet another weekend of civil unrest.
Pigott emphasized that open-border policies carry a heavy, undeniable price tag.
"Mass migration is inherently destabilizing. It is inherently destabilizing. It is something that we don't believe solves problems, but actually creates problems. And this is something the president has raised time and time again. He's raised it in reaction to these recent protests," Pigott added.
"He's also raised it directly to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly. Two years in a row raising this issue, calling for an end to the destructive policies of illegal amassed migration. Illegal amassed migration that, by the way, only helps criminal cartel groups. That's something we see in our own hemisphere, for example," Pigott continued. "The fact that cartel groups have traveled along these migration pathways. So the president is spot on, he's bringing attention to this issue, he is taking action to address this issue and, from the State Department's perspective, we have also taken concrete action to end the era of mass migration."
Amid the burning barricades and shuttered storefronts, the State Department offered practical advice for any American citizens currently trapped in the European capital of lights and riots.
"One of things that we really stress to Americans is that when they're traveling abroad, if they could please register for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). That program lets you tell us which countries you're going to so that we can provide real-time information to Americans in the country that have registered," Pigott told Fox News Digital.
"Speaking generally, when it comes to Americans that need assistance, we have personnel across the world at the State Department, at embassies and consulates that are working 24/7 to help the American people. If you have an issue when you're abroad, please contact the embassy or consulate," he added. "There are people that are there to help you that can provide information. Everything from a lost passport to responses to a security situation, that is something that is hugely important and a huge factor for the State Department."
