Hollande says will stay true to values after Trump swipe at France
Source: Reuters
President Francois Hollande on Thursday fired back at comments by U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump that "France was no longer France" after a slew of militant attacks, saying France would always stay true to its values.
France is reeling from two strikes in under two weeks by attackers who had pledged allegiance to Islamic State, the first when a Tunisian plowed his truck through a crowd in Nice, the second when two men slit the throat of a priest.
"France is no longer France. They won't like me for saying that," Trump told reporters in Miami on Wednesday. "And this world better be very careful and the better get very tough and they'll never do it with (Democratic nominee) Hillary Clinton."
Trump's campaign has been marked by insults and inflammatory rhetoric. He has called for tougher surveillance of mosques and warned that radical Muslims were "trying to take over our children." Trump has rejected the criticism that his rhetoric is racist.

Trump's rhetoric IS racist. Does he think we are all as bigoted as he is?
