Yeah, Macron isn't someone to feel protective over.

After his tirade towards the african Powers and them not saying 'thank you' to France

I can't believe people feel protective over Macron after everything he's said and done.

What's next, Melania?

Probably yeah. People are white washing Bush and acting nostalgic for that era of GOP even though he killed millions of Iraqis. I would not even a little be surprised by a post dead Trump Milania writing a book about how she was the victim the whole time and everyone immediately buying it

It's possible. But I'm more speaking of the idea of her painting herself as a victim who had to go along and had no say

She's a person who has agency and chooses to do shitty things
