I think a lot of people have problems accepting that Paris is a big city (12 million inhabitants in the metro area) and have crazy fantasms about.
The "Paris is not what is used to be" is the just the incapacity to believe that Paris is a big city and thus imagining an unrealistic past about it.
Paris has always been a city with many immigrants and a high income disparity.

Some districts better or worse than other but it has always been the case and it's just like any big western city.

Peripherique (Paris inner beltway) stands in areas that were covered by slums in 1930s.

I was in Paris in 1974. My impression was that everyone in Paris was from somewhere else. Guess not much has changed.
That's right nothing new. Paris 1994

I've never been to Paris. I've only seen pictures of it. The closest I've seen in person in the USA that might qualify as a "3rd world ghetto" is parts of New Orleans, parts of Atlanta(notably the southwest part of the city), some trailer park areas.

So the POTUS opened his little mouth and stuck his own foot into it.

You have to understand he only talks about stuff others tell him. He is weak minded and will do what ever his handlers tell him.

He didn't stick his foot in his mouth. He said something that needed to be said. And he will gain support from Europeans if he continues to take their side against their corrupt governments.

Lol, probably most people commenting on here:
A) have never been interested in Paris.
B) don't/can't travel.
C) can give a rats a** what happens in Paris and Europe.

They just want forced narratives that fit their paranoid agenda, crap like 'no-go zones,' immigrants are dangerous and destroying Western countries, blah, blah, blah....

Trump keeps claiming to have all these friends who tell him about Paris, and election fraud, and one thing and another. So why don't we ever see any of these friends? If he has all these friends, why is he celebrating New Year's Eve with Joey No socks and Don King?


Because they are all imaginary, like his big inauguration crowd, like the Bowling Green massacre, like the Muslim attack in Atlanta that never happened (oh, it was a White domestic terrorist who bombed in the 90s, never clarified).

It is highly ironic how the term 'fake news' is thrown around so loosely, yet President Orangeman creates fake news almost daily to continue his fear-mongeting platform.

Meanwhile, things like innocent minorities being killed and attacked by Trump supporters are ignored, like the poor Indian men in Alabama who were recently killed by a pyscho a few days ago.
