Whats wrong with the lighting ? Maybe a little too flat and direct but it's in character.

Who the gently caress know. Reminder: one crazy guy tried to shoot Chirac straight up from the street when he drove up the Champs Elysées during the 14th of July Military parade. Maybe Macron need a solid excuse for his new liberticide security laws. Also maybe the republican party members asked him to get Trump outside of the country for a longer time again. Or he want to show Trump "paris didn't change" after Trump's rant a few month back, but it would be naive and honestly pointless if you ask me.

Maybe Macron liked the whole deal that was made about him outhandshaking Trump and wants to repeat that magic. Or maybe he realises he's a piece of poo poo unless he's standing next to an even bigger piece of poo poo - and because the election is over and he can't really use Le Pen in that way, he has to go abroad.

That's how I see it too.

In other news, Macron's got his excuse for the coming austerity measures:

https://twitter.com/libe/status/880426421503393792

Tl;dr: There's 8 billion missing for this year's budget, which could take France over the 3% public deficit line. Macron is of course blaming Hollande and his cabinet for overly optimistic forecasts. I'm sure as minister of the economy until last summer, he couldn't possibly have known anything about it. :ironicat:

quote:

Interrogé par Le Monde sur la rupture d'Emmanuel Macron avec la tradition de l'interview présidentielle du 14 juillet, l'Elysée a donné une réponse surréaliste… Affirmant qu'il ne fallait pas y voir un "refus d'obstacle" du chef de l'Etat, qui n'a donné aucune interview depuis son élection, ses équipes expliquent tranquillement ce silence par le fait que la "pensée complexe" du président se prêterait mal à l'exercice.

Unlike previous presidents, Macron won't be interviewed by journalists on Bastille day because his "complex thought" is unfit for the exercise.

I used to be told "if you can't explain it you didn't understand it" but I'm no president now so what do I know.
