THE SLAP HEARD ROUND THE WORLD

  
Everyone by now has seen the vid of Mrs. Macron and President Macron as they prepare to disembark from their plane on a state visit to Viet Nam last week. Brigitte appears to push Macron’s face who is surprised, then shocked when waiting reporters’ cameras filmed the exchange. Ouch! He attempted to downplay the incident by quickly smiling and waving. It got icy real quick in the normally humid, Far East country. Brigitte is overheard to say in French, “Stay away, you loser” when Macron tried to link arms with her. He responds, “Let’s try, please”. She says, “No.” And he says, “I see.” Ouch! Double ouch! And definitely trouble in paradise for the couple who have been married since 2007.
FUN FACT: The two met when Macron was in high school and Brigitte was his teacher. She is twenty-five-years  his senior. And if that don’t take the cake, maybe rumours that she may be a “he” surely will. Who knows? Only in France!😜 [It's a Top Ten Cringe Pic for 2025 for sure! Ed.]
 
 
Cheers, Jake.
