This is truly dreadful prose. Take - 'demiurge and thaumaturge'- since the first term is so much stronger than the second, the effect is of bathos. Nobody's followers want them to be both 'God the Creator' and Houdini. God is too much the superior of Houdini.



What about this- ' there is in the enthusiasm of youth, in its bold drive, in its furia, its virtù, in its desire, something to which fate may cede more readily. Was that not the case, in 1789, with the French revolutionaries Hoche and Saint-Just, with Bonaparte the first and Napoleon III (until Macron, the youngest president in the history of France)? Was it not also the case with Benazir Bhutto, Joan of Arc, John F. Kennedy, and Theodore Roosevelt?'

Benazir Bhutto? Is this guy for real? Why is she placed side by side with Joan of Arc? How ignorant and stupid is this man? Does he not know what 'fate ceded' her youth?

What about this line- 'under a fig leaf of scorn for finance, betray the true spirit of France.' A fig leaf covers genitalia. Apparently the true spirit of France can be betrayed by genitalia. How do they do it? By being in a state of arousal? By not being in a state of arousal? BHL won't tell us. He doesn't know. He's is simply cycling through cliches in order to say nothing. Apparently, there is something in Macron which 'responds to the malaise of French Civilisation'. What is it? Presumably it is something which lacks the fig-leaf of 'scorn for finance' and thus does not betray the true spirit of France. What is BHL getting at.

OMG. Macron married his much older Drama Teacher. BHL, camping it up as a Gallic Dame Edna Everage these many years, is angling for the job of First Lady.
