It is not that you have asked, but I have felt a little overwhelmed by all Washington's bad news:
Pardons for fiscal tricks that align the pockets of President Trump. Talk about forgiveness for violent criminals who conspired to kidnap and kill Michigan's Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer. Cryptocurrency dinners that bathe him with money. His monomaniac search to extinguish the light of the most prestigious university in the country. Your budget that will deprive millions of your medical care coverage, while reducing taxes for rich and swelling of the national debt of $ 36 billion in an estimated $ 3.8 billion.
And do not make me start with the innovative movement of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who could make it difficult for pregnant women to get COVID-19 shots, thus depriving their protection babies against virus when they are vulnerable and are not yet eligible for vaccination.
Well skies, I needed a distraction. Fortunately, it came in the form of an unexpected video.
It is possible that he has seen it: last Sunday, the wife of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte, moved when he did something that seemed completely out of place for the painful first lady. She was trapped by the camera crushing her hands directly on her beautiful face. It seemed an act of hostility. I was intrigued.
I know, I know. They are barely news of the world. But who is not encouraged a bit when the trunk of perfection that protects the private life of high -profile couples and perfectly delivered, even for a brief moment?
Who can forget the view of the first lady Melania Trump turning her husband's hand during a 2017 visit to Tel Aviv? Or the way in which his smile vanished during his first inauguration at the time he looked away from her, inspiring the hashtag #freemelania?
In spite of all the drama and the rumor that revolved around the marriage of the Clinton, I cannot think of any public time that they did not seem civilly to each other, even after their disastrous relationship with a White House intern.
And the obamas? Is there any other intensely examined political couple that seems so normal? It is not that nobody really knows what is happening in another person's marriage.
Which takes us back to the macrons.
His plane was on the asphalt in Hanoi, where he was starting a tour to strengthen ties with Southeast Asia countries. When the plane's door opened, the couple was trapped without recognizing. A surprised -looking macron backed up when his hands incorporated hit his face. Instantly he picked up, and his wife appeared by his side. When the stairs began to descend, he offered her arm, which she did not take.
The strange clip went viral and sent to the French government, known as Elysée's Palace, to which a headline described as “chaos.”
Part of the chaos arose from the government that stated that the clip was not real, but it was possibly a false deep created by AI and exploited by Russia to make Macron seem weak. After Associated Press authenticated the video, the French government changed its tone, describing the moment as simply a playful interaction between the couple.
As expected, given their background history, Macrons have been subject to intense fascination for years.
They met in 1993 at a Catholic high school in northern France when he was 15 years old. She, almost 40 at that time, and a married mother of three children, was her drama teacher. His parents were so concerned about the improperity of their relationship that they sent him to Paris during his last year.
In 2006, she divorced her husband and married Macron the following year. He was 29 years old. She was 54 years old.
“Of course, we had breakfast together, me and my wrinkles, he with his youth, but it is so,” Macron told Elle France in 2017. “If I didn't make that decision, I would have lost my life.”
Unfortunately, Slapgate threatened to eclipse the Macrons trip.
“We are disputing and, rather, joking with my wife,” he told reporters, complaining that the incident was being exaggerated in “a kind of geoplanetary catastrophe.”
A few days later, however, I was making the light of the incident. Or at least try.
On Tuesday in Yakarta, Indonesia, when the door of his plane opened, another incorporeal hand appeared, this time greeting before Macron entered the frame of the camera smiling before walking down the stairs on his arm with his wife. Ha ha.
For a brief moment, the dispute of one of the most interesting couples in the world gave us a very necessary rest of the current The geoplanetary catastrophe develops around us. For that, macrons have my gratitude. Merci, You crazy tortolites.
