French presidential frontrunner Emmanuel Macron’s unlikely romance with wife 24 years his senior
New York Daily News ^ | April 24, 2017 | MEERA JAGANNATHAN

The frontrunner in April’s 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.

It's as if Mary Kay Letourneau's student hubby ended up as a major party candidate for president of the USA except with the age gap about twice as large. So just imagine Mary Kay Letourneau as the First Lady and you can see how weird this French election is.

That is gross - like having an affair with one of your son’s friends. Bleh.

I have to admit, though, within reason, it doesn’t bother me so much if it’s the other way around. President Trump and Melania....that doesn’t bother me. Anna Nicole Smith and whoever it was, well, gross.

“It’s as if Mary Kay Letourneau’s student hubby ended up as a major party candidate for president of the USA except with the age gap about twice as large.”

Actually, Mark Kay Letourneau is 22 years older than Vili Fualaau so it’s almost the same as what we’re seeing in France. Vili, however, was 12 and the Frenchman was 15.

I guess, then, in your view, Melania has daddy issues.

Same age difference.

It’s not the same as Trump - they did not meet (and presumably commence a romance) while she was 15.

Melania married a Billionaire. She doesn’t have any issues anymore.

Will Vili be 39 years old in 2020? If so, the Democrats are desperately searching for a presidential candidate.

She would have gone to prison if she did that in the current-day USA.

They “bonded.” So that’s what they call it in France.

It sure looks like the worldwide media is pulling out all the stops for Macron. Every angle. Every detail.

Right before our eyes he is slowly but surely being transformed into the hottest thing on stage right now. Almost how the media gushed over Obama, or how the Canadian media gushed over Trudeau. The media is actively trying to drown out and overwhelm Le Pen by making Macron into a rock star for the yutes to rally behind.
