French President Emmanuel Macron accused President Donald Trump of making “stupid” and “unacceptable” comments about the riots that have ravaged Paris, accusing him of twisting the chaos for his own political gain.

Speaking to the press while visiting Doha, Qatar, on Wednesday, Macron said there was no evidence of foreign actors instigating the protests but lamented the “foreign manipulation of information” he has observed “in the aftermath.”
