Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: Rioters in France attacked synagogues and burned church “steeples” as part of religiously motivated violence.
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: No houses of worship were directly attacked, and authorities established no link between the unrest and religion. A Paris synagogue was damaged in an apparent burglary attempt, while a widely shared image of a burning tower showed part of the Limoges town hall, not a church steeple.
