Macron can criticize Trump all he wants but guess which country is doing much better economically? By embracing BS Global Warming, Macron is raising gas taxes on the already high fuel prices thus causing extreme anger among his citizens. Meanwhile, here in the USA, I last filled up my tank for only $2.35 per gallon. (In Florida--- Sorry, California.)

Not being able to afford molotov cocktails puts a real damper things.

If they would just elect a Democrat president, the fuel prices would become perfect, just as they always were here when Obama was president.

Another leftist country starts circling the drain. When will people figure it out?

This is what the globalist-socialists want to inflict on the rest of the world with their corrupt central planning and ideology.

Even in France, the world center of this thinking, the citizens don’t like it.

-—Police fired teared gas...-—

“Teared Gas” - never heard of it.

I’ve heard a lot about ‘tear gas’ though.

Common Core journalism is everywhere these days.

Of all the things the French should get riled up about, this is at the bottom of the list.

Ms Gulf Coast is now down to $1.21/gallon....was paying $3.15+ for premium and now under $1.75.

Funny how them socialist places have high prices from over taxation..when I was in Italy in late '70s, gas was about the same for a liter as we were paying for a gallon....and they taxed car radios so many, with no radios, weren't grounded properly which made for popping static on TV and radio in the house as they drove by.

Nice to see that some people still have the balls to fight an oppressive government.

Macron is a liberal masquerading as a centrist.

Huh. I just filled up for $2.41 a gallon in Illinois, where everyone and his brother puts a tax on gasoline.
