JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: MACRON'S VISIT TO TRUMP - COLUMNIST ASKS WHETHER IT WILL "PAY OFF"?

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN



“Macron has taken a big risk with his trip to the US. Will the gamble pay off?”



Pay off?

In what currency?

It, of course, never hurts to be friends with an American President, even if he is a bizarre man like Trump.

Macron himself already has achieved record-low approval ratings for a French President in polls after just a few months.

Macron is hopeless, arrogant and blind to half-a-dozen realities in France and the world.

Truly, a complete creature of the establishment.

You know French Presidents in the past often formed their own political parties.

Were Macron to do that, it would be called The Establishment Party.

I truly wish him little luck in anything.

By the way, he can be quite fickle. On the Iran Nuclear Treaty, one of the very few areas he held a solid view, he's already been saying it needs some adjustment.

Does that reflect intense lobbying? Of course, it does, as well as his own weakness.
