The Slap Seen Around the World: Cameras Catch Macron Getting Slapped by Wife – 5.26.25
This might be the weirdest story today– though it is still early.
Cameras were ready as the French President landed in Vietnam. Yet as the doors of Macron’s plane opened, something very strange happened. See for yourself:
The President’s team seems to be taking a page out of the Biden administration’s book– and denying the entire thing.
Le Monde writes:
Macron’s office initially denied the authenticity of the images, before they were confirmed as genuine. A close associate of the president, cited anonymously by Agence France-Presse (AFP), later described the incident as a couple’s harmless “squabble.”
Ah oui oui! The cheap fakes!
I don’t know how I’d describe this kind of “squabble”…but harmless certainly is not the word that comes to mind.
