        Unfortunately he is a hypocrite and a fraud... he doesn't do what he says and doesn't say what he does. There is nothing to applaud.

        You applaud Macron because he is being paid from the same globalist through as you. The rest is noise.

        You should instantly dismiss any politician or writer who perpetuates the line that Brexit is all about racism and xenophobia. They are either a liar or totally misinformed. The majority of people I know voted for Brexit and I've never heard any racist or xenophobic comment.

        And always rather bizarre to read an anti-Brexit rant from someone who made a personal decision to leave EU, as Roger Cohen's bio informs us!

        @EmmanuelMacron has a tough job, @sapinker! According to the @gatesfoundation @Ipsos poll, only 3% of French say they are "Very Optimistic" about the future of #France. Macron is an #optimistic #leader! http://victorperton.blogspot.com/2018/09/were-falling-behind-on-optimism.html …

        Macron won’t do anything about the Third World invasion of France. Nothing to applaud here.
