It was recently discovered that Macron doesn’t float (at least politically).
She actually did it. She totally went in Seine.
When I lived in Texas, I figured that holding the office of Governor should require swimming some meaningful distance in the Houston Ship Channel &/or Galveston Bay. But no wet suit: just trunks, at most. You want the job, then you have to put some literal skin in the game & own the water quality there.
Dopey movie about mutated sharks living in the Seine who attack a swimming event while the Mayor looks on.
Surely we can’t expect Macron to get in the water. A preening overestimation of your abilties won’t keep the animating mass of technocrat cogs from rusting.
