Schools have nothing to do with it: "What is happening in France is nothing less than out-of-control mass immigration. It is Islam that wants to take over a once great country." Donald Trump is coming straight into Paris and the student protests that are shaking the streets across France. And the frontal attack is only the latest in a long series of attacks against Europe, accused on several occasions of renouncing its fundamental values, those shared with the United States, and of encouraging uncontrolled immigration. A position that goes hand in hand with the increasingly frequent praise that the tycoon instead addresses to those far-right parties that are making progress in various countries in Europe, starting with the AfD in Germany. An attitude that Trump exploits for internal use and consumption, in view of the midterms, but also to exercise his influence overseas, in view of the elections that will affect much of Europe in the coming months. It has been clear for some time that relations between Trump and the Old Continent are not the best. In the latest version of the National Security Strategy, the White House has put in black and white that if Europe does not change it risks the "real prospect of seeing its civilization erased". From NATO to Ukraine via tariffs, there are therefore many fronts of tension.
