Talk about backfiring?
It was the most important TV appearance of Emmanuel Macron’s presidency: the 40-year-old former banker had to prove to an angry nation that he was not an arrogant “president of the rich” and that he understood ordinary French people’s struggle to make ends meet.
Yet Macron’s choice to deliver his prerecorded speech on social inequality from one of the most opulent and golden rooms in the luxurious, 365-room Élysée Palace was not lost on gilets jaunesprotesters who have been occupying protest barricades on rural roundabouts.

Macaroni is a clown who only figured out how to bite his under lip like Bill Clinton did. Boil him and he gets soft in less than 2 minutes ready to be served, although tasteless.
As you can see in the lower image in the Guardian post, Macron appeared on TV with the flag of his boss, which is the unelected and unaccountable European Commission in Brussels. Macron always has the EU flag near him.
Macron clearly has self-esteem issues, being shorter than most men and women. Sarkozy was likewise an evil dwarf. They always appear in tailored suits, and they give speeches from regal settings in order to seem powerful. When they meet world leaders who treat them as equals, they are so grateful to be accepted that they shake leaders’ hands for thirty seconds or more, refusing to let go. It’s creepy.
Macron lives for compliments from his grandmother / wife who calls him, “little Jupiter.” In July 2017, Macron cut 850 million euros from the French military and gave the money to his beloved vampire bankers. When the head of the French military complained, (Gen. Pierre de Villiers) the evil dwarf looked up at him and publicly barked, “I’m the boss!” The general immediately resigned in disgust. (Macron is the first French president who never carried out mandatory military service, which was scrapped in the 1990s.)
Again, the actual boss of France is the European Commission, plus the bankers who lend to France. Macron is their puppet. His insecurity makes him a mouse that is easily handled. This is one reason why the bankers created his political party, and installed him. “Little Jupiter” swore to them that if they made him president, he would repay them by giving them France, which he is doing. Macron knows they created him, and they can remove him at will.
Meanwhile the corporate media outlets in the USA are whining that the miniscule crumbs Macron threw at the peasants (e.g. a 100-euro-per-month increase in the minimum wage) will cost billions and billions of euros that would otherwise go straight to the bankers (who will eventually get those euros no matter what). Macron’s crumbs will “bankrupt France,” which is already bankrupt under mountains of debt. Hence the lower classes are crushed by relentless austerity.
Some corporate media outlets are calling the protests a “Russian plot.”
Jews are naturally calling the protests “anti-Semitic.” Bernard Henry-Levy, the psychopath who demanded the destruction of Libya and the attack on Syria, calls the yellow vests the “brown vests” (GiletsBruns), implying a link with historical fascism. Anyone who is not a militant Jew is a “Nazi.” Even the quasi-communist Jean-Luc Mélenchon is a “Nazi.” Everywhere Jews look there are “Nazis” and “holocaust™ deniers.” Everyone they terrorize is a “terrorist.” Everyone they murder is a “human shield.”
The protesters want Macron to resign, but this will solve nothing. With or without “little Jupiter,” as long as France has a trade deficit, and clings to the euro, France will go further into debt and austerity, while remaining under the heel of Brussels and the bankers.
Bernard Henry-Levy cheered on the Arab Spring, but not the European Spring.
My guess is the speech wasn't actually for the gilets jaunes; the opulent surroundings give away the actual intended message and audience.
Reminds me of the $12,000 Armani jacket Hillary wore while giving a speech about inequality.
