JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE QUEEN OF INSIPID POLITICAL COLUMNISTS WRITES ABOUT MACRON BECOMING "SAVIOR" OF FRANCE - YES, MACRON WHO SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE JUST ON MAKE-UP IN HIS FIRST MONTHS


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY NATALIE NOUGAYREDE IN THE GUARDIAN


"Macron will never be Europe’s savior if he keeps playing to the populists"

Speaking of Macron as savior of anything is wooly-mouthed silliness.

There is nothing in this man's record to suggest someone extraordinary.

I regard him as a milquetoast character with daydream fantasies of grandeur.

A political savior who carried on at fifteen with his predatory high school teacher? One who wears make-up obvious in almost every photo of him?

Saviors come in mighty strange shapes these days.

I think Macron precisely showed what he is made of with the silly Trump visit. He bumped up the mass of the Bastille Day parade to impress Trump.

Trying to impress Trump with marching bands while you scurry around in make-up? Simply ridiculous.

The Poles have already told him what they think of his pretensions.

Macron is a bad joke, and polls show the people of France already perceive it clearly.

He was a quickly pumped-up election balloon, pumped-up and painted by a desperate establishment group indeed trying to stop the election of a genuine independent leader, and he is already badly leaking gas.

Nougayrède, at least, never fails to deliver to readers, phrases wrapped in precious prose saying very little of anything.
