The little fag gets it ...

French President Emmanuel Macron was not only present at the Élysée Palace during “Act IV” of the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) protests but had a helicopter on standby to escape in case protesters broke in, according to reports.
The French leader fortified the Élysée Palace last Saturday with an unprecedented amount of security, including 500 republican guards, around a hundred police and gendarmes armed with water cannons, and other anti-riot measures, Le Dauphine reports.
Should the protesters have managed to storm the Élysée and get past security, President Macron is also said to have had a helicopter on standby to evacuate him and others in what could have echoed the escape of former Romanian president Nicolae Ceaușescu, who fled a popular uprising by helicopter during the collapse of his Communist regime on December 22, 1989.
Witnesses at the Élysée last Saturday described the French leader as “like marble” in front of the protests that not only saw high levels of violence in Paris but also in other French cities like Toulouse and Bordeaux.
The protests have put the French president on the back foot for the past several weeks and have continued even after the government agreed to the initial demand of cancelling a tax hike on fuel.
Earlier this week, Macron offered several more concessions including a 100 euro per month increase in the French minimum wage and several tax breaks such as making overtime work tax-free and calling for companies to give employees year-end bonuses that would also not be taxed.

I hope he had a yellow safety vest onboard.:)
I remember when at the height of Watergate, Soviet leader Brezhnev asked Nixon why he didn’t surround the White House with tanks.
*Little faggity ass weasel*
MARICON.
I may be missing something, but the cost of most of the “concessions” that Macron was offering would have fallen on employers ... extra bonuses, tax-free overtime, 100 Euro/month increase in minimum wage ...
Sissy mary, old lady sexing, cuck.
What a coward. Then, every socialist I’ve ever met is a coward so it should be no surprise.
A totally different situation. The yellow vest movement is supposedly a mix of both left and right that oppose Macron.
With obama, the left is on his side. Any massive protests by the right would have been met by counter protesting and aggression by the left. It would have been absolute chaos. The cops would have been the ones to fix it.
The army is sworn to defend the Constitution. If obama had done something very obvious, like nullify the 2A or any other important element in the Constitution, then that would give legal authority for the Army to step in. But that would never happen since the left has all but taken over the military.

> I wonder if the army would have deserted Obama had enough protesters and protesting had come to Washington? <
Obama was a disaster...but I’d hope that the generals would have strictly followed the Rule of Law. And so unless Congress removes him, the President is C-in-C. His lawful orders must be obeyed. To do otherwise would open a Pandora’s Box of problems.
By the way, the movie ‘Seven Days in May’ covered this topic. Except for the preachy ending, it’s a good movie. If you haven’t seen it, get it. Here’s the trailer.

Quick thinking.
Did he also carry a white flag?
Akin to Syria’s Assad, several years ago...
Nicely done!
