Despicable, egomaniacal “après moi, le déluge” stuff from Macron here. Thank goodness his own premier undermined it.
Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

The teleprompter attack on Biden is wild because Trump ran this playbook against Clinton in 2016, often from a teleprompter. It's amazing how many people who live and breathe this stuff have just totally forgotten...everything? Perhaps they need a cognitive screening?
