Right, just like Mark Rutte left politics to become a full-time secondary school teacher after his last cabinet

How could he refuse the job of rimjob specialist to the orange crybaby



Most presidents in America retire from government as well. The only exceptions are when the president becomes a Supreme Court justice.

Do French Presidents ever do anything other than retire?

Look at the title carefully. He says he will leave Politics.

What does that mean now ??

He’s far too young to declare retirement.

He’s probably got quite a few oligarchs eager to put him on their board.


At least in Finland the ex-politicians usually become lobbyists, public speakers and leaders in private organizations.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was similar in France.

Ministers and senators yeah, presidents no.



He’ll spin up a consulting company and send invoices for “consulting work” to all the companies with backs he’s been scratching the last decade so they can scratch him back.

Meaning ??🤔🤔🤔



He’s French, he’s got years of sitting at pavement cafes, drinking espresso and smoking Gitanes to catch up on.



Macron is particularly young for a president. His political career peaked really quickly, and it can’t really go higher. But I suspect he has other ambitions now. Retiring so early doesn’t make sense for someone who’s driven by ambition.



Oh yes and they all keep their promises.


I already knew that because I’m French.


Best news of the day. Can’t wait 2027.


It’d be better if he could leave life altogether.
