One thing about Macron (besides being Gay/bisexual), is that he is very sophisticated about International economics - really super savvy.
He graduated from École nationale d’administration (ENA - the creme de la creme of France) and was a power player as an investment banker at Rothschild Bank. The man is really sharp, about how things really work with International business and finance - at the top of the game.
He is almost always the smartest and most successful man in the room, anywhere he goes, and has to endlessly deal with lesser minds, deluded and focused on trivialities.
Dealing with someone can play at the same level - or better - is a real treat. Only such a high level player can really appreciate/affirm his talent.
Personally, I think that respect from/engagement by a man like President Trump provides Macron a profound level of affirmation, that is about as good as it gets inter-personally. Only the judgement of history (or his electorate) could be a greater personal validation.

IMHO, you give this character entirely too much credit. Did the ENA indoctrinate him on the need for the French to, in effect, pay the Jizyah to the Muslims in their midst? Did the ENA teach him the desirability of Muslim immigration? Did the ENA instruct him to marry his far older teacher and not reproduce? Macron was being an immature jerk with Trump. He’s fortunate Trump had the class and maturity to not deck him right then and there.
