    Any time I start to see how some politician “has been criticized” and it’s getting blown up into a big deal in the press, I assume that someone’s out to get them, and they’re probably doing a good job at pissing off the right people with how they conduct themselves.

    You can write an analysis of whether or not it’s a good idea for Macron to be in charge. That question, I have no idea the answer to. But this type of “everyone thinks he’s an asshole” middle school peer pressure stuff I am a lot more suspicious of.

      Except this isn’t “everyone thinks he’s an asshole”, it’s specific examples that are honestly pretty believable if you’re paying any type of attention.
