Macron
April 24, 2017
THE mainstream news is presenting the results of the first round of the French presidential election as an “earthquake.”
In fact, the sudden rise of the relatively young investment banker, Emmanuel Macron, 39, who is likely to triumph over nationalist Marine Le Pen (always identified as “far right” by journalists) in the final election on May 7, is a victory for the establishment. As the French writer Yves Daodaul put it, Macron is “a doormat of the financiers.”

[T]he candidates have defects, but Marine’s are not the catastrophic defects of Macron/Mélenchon [Melanchon was also a candidate in the recent run off] that would mean the end of France as a sovereign nation, either through submission to Brussels (which is already a fact) or through a return to the forefront of French politics of undiluted Communism.
French presidents of recent times have been extremely poor models in their private lives. Macron is no exception. (Neither is Marine Le Pen) He is “married” to a woman, Brigitte Trogneux, who is 24 years his senior. The 64-year-old Trogneux is his former teacher. Their relationship began when Macron was a teenager and she was a married mother of three. We’re supposed to see it all as very romantic. In fact, it’s creepy.

If he were in a licit relationship would it be OK to marry a woman 24 years his senior? When I was single, I went to movies, etc. with a woman 20 years older than me and it felt a little odd, notwithstanding that we didn’t even hold hands.
Woody Allen married his adopted daughter which is obviously very creepy even if it isn’t technically incest.
Le Pen has her flaws, but I don’t know what the “play book” is when the other side wants to destroy your culture (or what’s left of it) with mass Islamic migration.

What kind of woman would command a young man’s loyalties when there is no possibility that he could have children with her?
