    To whom? Macron, who refuses to respect the will of the voters, and continues to elevate the far right in France?

      Thank you; people keep getting excited whenever France makes moves towards forms of leadership these days but I can’t help but suspect that Macron doesn’t want to eradicate the global hegemony America had held through recent history but put France in its place.

      Demanding back a gift given in celebration of America’s abolition of slavery solely on the basis that France was the one to gift it (i.e. ownership) is too on-the-nose, even if you tried.

        You don’t need to suspect. He’s confirmed it plenty of times. He will shut the country down before allowing the left to seize power.
