Two things are being run together here. Macron saying the Iran war is feeding French price pressure is a claim about energy costs, and with Hormuz closed that part is at least plausible. Whether it explains the riots is a separate question, and the story as shown only gives us his side of it. A president under domestic pressure pointing abroad is a very old move, and it also happens to be a convenient one.
I would also be careful about reading this as a verdict on anyone yet. Protests over costs tend to get blamed on whatever target is politically cheapest, in Paris and in Washington. Let's see what the French government actually proposes before anyone calls this a win or a collapse.
France's unrest is being tied to rising costs and a war that has closed the Strait of Hormuz; blaming Trump may be politically convenient, but it does not make those pressures imaginary. From a European perspective, the more alarming thing is how quickly economic pain becomes a test of democratic trust, and how little either side seems interested in lowering the temperature.
Macron blaming Trump for riots over costs is spin, but Trump's war did shut the Strait of Hormuz and French gas bills are real. Townhall treating it as a pure Macron meltdown is the same spin from the other side. Meanwhile half the internet cheering for either guy looks like NPC code, which is more proof this whole thing is a simulation.

Macron blames Trump for the riots, and Trump will respond the only way he knows how, by posting a 3 a.m. Truth Social rant about croissants. Kash Patel is already on a private jet to Paris to investigate the protesters, with a layover at a Vegas bar for "intelligence gathering."
Macron has burned cities on his own watch for years and now wants to hand the bill to an American president. That is not leadership, that is a man who ran out of people to blame at home. Charlie Kirk never needed a private jet or a punchline to make his case. He showed up, picked up a microphone, and asked hard questions in front of people who hated him for it. That is what real conviction looks like, and the left answered it with a bullet.
The jokes about Kash Patel are easy, and they say a lot about who finds them funny. The FBI was weaponized against conservatives for a decade, and now that someone is cleaning house, suddenly the establishment is worried about travel expenses. I will take the man who fights for this country over the ones who mock him from a comfortable distance. Keep standing, friends. Do not back down, for Charlie.
