"Vous me manquez encore ?"

Emmanuel Macron, the 39-year-old former investment banker who was catapulted to the French presidency in May, faces widespread disillusionment as he prepares to mark his first 100 days in office.
The man shown walking on water on the cover of The Economist magazine after his startling rise has seen his approval ratings nosedive, with only 36 percent of respondents giving him the thumbs up in one recent poll.
The French are “falling out of love” with Macron, the right-leaning daily Le Figaro headlined on Sunday.
No French president has seen such a steep drop in popularity so early in his rule since Jacques Chirac in 1995.
Macron, who shot to power on May 7th promising to overcome France’s entrenched right-left divide, has since come under fire for his labor reform program, budget and public spending cuts as well as a plan to create an official First Lady position for his 64-year-old wife Brigitte.
France’s youngest ever president is especially out of favor with civil servants after vowing to put a brake on their salary increases. …

French fickleness and electing a 14 year old and his mommy will get you that.
When you go back to the summer of 2016, and Macron is trying to convince the Socialist Party to let him take an insider position...they just weren’t going to do it. So he leaves his position and starts his own party.
If you wrote out his resume...it’s basically a 3x5 card...maybe six lines max. Until this point, he’s never been in an election.
Told you he’d wind up being the least popular French leader ever.
The media that loved him during the election knew all this back then.
The French people have the same enemy we do: the internationalist media.
"...French fickleness..."
Macron is basically Obama, with ummm, an ugly wife.
As opposed to Obama’s wife?
All politicians promise the moon, and the stupid voters believe them. Then when the pols don’t solve all their problems, they become disillusioned and vote for the next shyster who promise them everything. When will people learn that politicians can’t do anything but get in the way of progress and prosperity?

Am I missing something here?
Sounds like he’s trying to get control of spending.

I think the “Spanish translation” of his name is appropriate. Maricon!
In Spanish, maricon means faggot!

The French wanted more Socialism and more Muslims.
What do you expect?
There’s a difference?
Well, THAT “hope and change” evaporated PDQ.
Too late.... They will eventually be butchered or in a physical revolution.
You bought this turkey, so you own him, Frogs.
None of this makes any difference. France is gone and just a hollow shell waiting for the caliphate to take control in its own due time.
That's what I got. He is trying to bring some sanity to the budget, cut the top tax rate, hold salaries.
The people want none of it. Socialism full speed ahead.
