French President Emmanuel Macron issued a fiery response to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for social media comments that appeared to criticize the appearance of French first lady Brigitte Macron.

The French president’s remarks came on the final day of the annual meeting of the Group of Seven leaders in Biarritz, France, where the subject of raging fires in the Amazon had led to criticism of the Brazilian government and a pledge by world leaders to start a $20 million fund to help protect the rainforest.

Bolsonaro...has called the international criticism of his government by European nations a reflection of a “colonialist mentality."

...pushed the political dispute into personal territory Sunday, when he appeared to endorse a meme from a supporter that compared the appearance of the French first lady, 67, with Brazil’s first lady, Michelle Bolsonaro, 37.

On Saturday, a supporter of the Brazilian president posted a photograph of the two world leaders and their wives on Bolsonaro’s official Facebook page, with a comment that suggested Macron was jealous of Bolsonaro.

In response, Bolsonaro responded with laughter and wrote: “Do not embarrass the guy.”

“How about it Macro? That’s what your wife called it last night! I thought you French liked toilet humor haw haw haw...”

[StAnDeliver]

Wow In that tweet, macros wife looks like Planet of the Apetit Dejeuner after the dog ate it.

“Macron should have the maturity not to have childish fights with other leaders over personal matters.”

I believe it’s common culture for the French to publicly puff up their chests and spout off about perceived indignation to themselves, family and country.

Macron was just being French.

In Micron’s defense, his elderly wife looks much better than the average beard of a gay man.

Usually, they are quite hideous.

Good lord, Big Mike the Wookie looks more beastly than usual in that one...

[NorseViking]

Maricon is technically right but it would make more sense to just ignore that buffoon Bolsonaro

[Buckeye McFrog]

That photo reminds me, don’t accept ANYTHING like the G7 or G20 happening in your community.

That thing turned Pittsburgh into a locked-down armed camp for a week. It was horrible! Ever since the globalist political class has been rewarding our local Democrat toadies by pumping money into town.

Which is basically electing the kinds of people who will turn us into San Francisco on the Monongahela.

Brazilians aren't into stick figure women who might make a desiccated Egyptian mummy seem saftig. Quite the opposite.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Yes he is. The Spanish translation.

looks to me like Brigitte has had a few too many botox injections and cosmetic surgeries ... still gauche for any diplomat to mention something like that:

Bolsonaro is 64, his wife 37, 27 years younger. They married in 2007, when she was around 25 and he 52. Macron is 41, his wife 66, 25 years older. So about the same spousal age spread, but in different directions.

Did Macron's wife's family have money?

[Maris Crane]

That is NOT allowed.

Not only that....they hooked up when he was a teenage high school student and she was his 39 year old teacher. She’d be fired/disciplined for that at the very least in the US if not prosecuted.

Also what does it say about a guy who has a mommywife like that? Ewwwww. Call me judgmental but that’s just gross all the way around.

Leave it to the Frogs to elect a guy like that.

[FLT-bird]

Call me sexist and all but.......it’s not the same thing. Guys are still shooting live ammo until they drop dead for the most part.

That’s a nice picture of Carla Bruni amd Patrick Ewing!!

[wardaddy]

Macron wife is a darling given her age but it’s a weird coupling

I suspect likes to chupa la mondan and she’s his cover

This criticizing politicians wives in how they look is inappropriate

I don’t like it

[wardaddy]

It’s a matter of taste

I like skinny legs

Krysten Ritter

Emily Ratatowski

Charlotte McKinney

All long skinny legs

I think Ms Macron is cute for 66

I’d shag her or as young folks say

Rail her

I think that means a good one

Stamina is how they refer to it on singles sites

Man nomenclature is weird today

[wardaddy]

66 years old.... you could do a lot worse

I disagree, I have seen and met several older women I could have been perfectly happy with. What a double standard, we accept the older man with the younger women but to do the opposite invites all kinds of ridiculous and malicious comments.
