The frontrunner in Aprils French presidential elections has a May-December thing going on.
Emmanuel Macron, the 39-year-old political novice whose Sunday electoral triumph advances him to a run-off against Marine Le Pen next month, is married to a woman 24 years his senior the same age disparity between President Trump and his ex-model wife, Melania.
Macron met Brigitte Trogneux, 64, during the 1990s when she was his high school teacher then a married mom of three named Brigitte Auzière.
The future presidential candidate, aged about 16, bonded with Trogneux while studying drama at La Providence in Amiens, according to Reuters.

He’s 39 and his stepson is two years older than he is.

They are French. Says it all.
Entirely possible, although he doesn’t seem the type to care, quite honestly. Have you seem many photos of him? Strikes me as a passive-aggressive empty suit who smiles like a shark. Very Obama-esque, in every sense.
I didn’t realize “Macron” was French for Gingrich ...

nope. he’s actually older. she just has crummy DNA, or something.
Don’t tell me you’re surprised. Macron, while a political newbie, is very much French establishment. He is a former Socialist and a former advisor to President Hollande.
The establishment has already closed ranks around him. I do expect him to win, but Mme Le Pen will make a real contest of it.
I consider Mme Le Pen and the FN to be the least bad option. Macron, oddly enough has some better policies than the FN. However, he is solidly pro-EU and establishment. Part of the same system that has undermined France for decades.
The FN, for all its flaws, would be a shock the system desperately needs.
nicely done.
I’m trying to find the actual numbers in the voting yesterday, article didn’t have them. Anyone know?
Actually she said the death of her daughter caused her to age.
Also, Melania is not the President.
He is pretty much a political unknown with a pretty face and a smooth line
Like Justin Trudeau
And with 100% of the global media shilling for him
Will the French fall for this
The double standard is alive and well.
