President Donald Trump didn’t hold back when a French reporter asked him why the United States’ unemployment rate is so much lower than that of France.
Trump was touring a Louis Vuitton factory in Texas on Thursday when he was approached by the French reporter. She asked him, “You have a very low unemployment rate in the U.S. and we have a very high unemployment rate in France. How come?”

The comment was likely a joke directed at French President Emmanuel Macron. Trump and the French president have had a good relationship, despite occasional sniping between the two. Last year, Macron and his wife traveled to the White House for an official state visit.
Trump was in Texas to see the Louis Vuitton factory in Johnson County, where 1,000 new American workers will be hired; he then hosted a massive rally in the Lone Star state.
