Can Savior Macron save Trump?

So what’s up with the fresh new breeze wafting through the halls of power in the Nations of Virtue? Looks like Manny “The Redeemer” and Donny J are spending the day doing touristy stuff in the City of Light. Isn’t this the same Macron who was just recently praised to the heavens for standing up to Trump?

What goes on here?

This is especially intriguing given the completely opposite treatment these two alleged political neophytes have gotten at the hands of mainstream Western media. On the one hand, Macron has been received with near universal adoration. He is the fresh new face of a new politics that is neither of the left or the right, or so we are lead to believe.

Trump, on the other hand, has endured a non-stop torrent of loathing and vitriol from the same media.

So what gives? Could it be that one flim-flam artist has recognised a kindred spirit in the other?

Or is there something more sinister afoot?

Recall that a mere six weeks ago Macron was being loudly lauded for standing up to Putin. The new kid gave Bad Vlad a stern finger wag over everything from election interference to Syrian chemical attacks to the nefarious propaganda that Russian state media outlets Sputnik and RT have been aiming at gullible dupes in the West. Yes, Macron was unflinching in his anti-Putin stand.

Yet when the two men met again at the G20 last weekend, the tone was much more muted. Hardly a month after their first meeting, Macron has noticed a tangible change in Russo-French relations and is “ready to move on to a new phase…”

Well, that about-face wasn’t long in coming!

Could it be that the Russians have a dossier on Macron too?
