HANOI — Rumors about a potential domestic spat that may have turned ugly were put to rest today, as French President Emmanuel Macron assured reporters that he had just fallen down some stairs again.
Macron’s latest spill down the steps occurred just as reports indicated that he had been physically accosted by his wife, Brigitte, just as the couple was set to emerge from their plane after landing in Hanoi on Monday.
“It’s fine. I’m fine. We’re all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?” Macron replied to media questions while gingerly touching a swollen and bruised eye. “I just took another tumble down the stairs again, you know? I’m just so clumsy. I need to be better, I know. Better at going up and down stairs, I mean.”
When asked for comment, the French First Lady corroborated her husband’s account of the events. “Yes, it was the stairs,” she told a reporter. “Maybe the stairs had just had enough of that stupid look on his face and decided to do something about it. Maybe he should learn to keep his mouth shut so that the stairs don’t have to keep straightening him out. He should try just doing what the stairs tell him to do the first time, and things won’t get so ugly.”
Today’s incident marked the latest in a long string of unfortunate accidents the French president suffered. “Nothing to worry about,” he said. “You win some, you lose some, as they say. Or, being French, you lose a lot.”
Go here to read the rest. No doubt his wife was merely using a traditional form of French endearment.
Oh, the first lady has that “je ne sais quoi” which is both captivating and repulsive.
As when you see a lioness ripping apart the flesh of a gazelle. Pure animal.
No so much lioness as cougar.
Cougar.
-very good.
He’s really married to the country, don’t you know, just like ths despotic ruler in the country next to France that proved that “Elbows up” is not a thing in France giving rise to the slang term “Surrender Monkies.” Explain to me again how France ended up with a seat on the UN security council? It’s a pretty dubious honor to be the only country that surrendered in world war 2 that ended up on the UN security council. Macron is just following the national identity. Arrogant, pretentious and weak. And I say that is a person with French ancestry whose family immigrated to Quebec In the 1700’s. The country hasn’t been right since Louis IX.
I thought corporal punishment by school teachers was banned in most parts of the world.

I still think she’s a he.
French got beat up in Hanoi.
I thought that was old news 🤔
I guess that Macron was fortunate that his wife wasn’t holding a pie in her hands.
