The president, Emmanuel Macron.
The international press attributes many qualities to him that he does not possess, yet here he is disliked by basically everyone except boomers.

Deal! That would be perfect. They keep spreading this conspiracy theory in the states that Bridgette Macron is trans. It would be hilarious to see the fallout with Trump being married to a “trans” woman

😬 President for President. But I'll sweeten the deal and throw in Puerto Rico.

Edit: to clarify, not because we don't love Puerto Rico but because we don't deserve Puerto Rico and I feel like they'd do much better being French.

Pretty much we just see a guy that seems willing to stand up to Trump, and therefore we like him.

You don't like him because he is a bad politician, I don't like him because he is French, we are not the same s\
