FRENCH FIRST LADY SHOVES PRESIDENT IN FACE

As the media waited for French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife to exit the French presidential plane in Vietnam, something happened that raised questions about the first couple’s relationship.

In video clips shared all over the world, French First Lady Brigitte Macron’s hand can be seen pushing into the president’s face.

The president could be seen stumbling back a step before he noticed that the plane’s door was open and the media were waiting outside.

Although international media outlets continue to feature the incident, the French media only covered it for 24 hours before moving on swiftly.

It’s an unwritten rule in France that political leaders should enjoy privacy. Although illegitimate children, affairs, and now this uncomfortable incident have been aired in the past, they’ve quickly been swept under the rug, and everyone moves on.

A French lipreader has since unveiled what was allegedly said between the couple once the president realised they’ve been caught.

At the top of the stairs, he extended his arm for her to join him, but she replied with “Degage, espece de loser” which translated to “Stay away, you loser”.

A few seconds later, he asks her, “Let’s try, please,” to which she replies a simple “Non”.

Later that evening, the President told a reporter it was a playful moment between him and his wife.
