Trump says people protesting in Washington Thursday were 'thugs'

13 Sept 15:43 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump branded anti-Trump protesters in Washington D.C. as "thugs" following his Republican National Convention acceptance speech at the White House.
Protesters, whose horns were audible during Trump's speech, were demonstrating against police brutality and racism, referencing recent events like the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Republican Senator Rand Paul and his wife were swarmed by protesters after departing the White House, with calls to "say her name" (Breonna Taylor).
Trump praised Washington police for protecting Paul but criticized the city's Democratic mayor for what he called "bad instructions" to the police, aligning with his "law-and-order" campaign stance.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
