I'll never understand why he chose to call elections.
According to him, it was a "grenade between their legs". Basically he wanted to wreck shit because of his hubris, and he's doomed us all pretty much. Dude has a massive ego and can't handle the reality that he's deeply unpopular.
Macron is probably job hopping. Mark Rutte from the Netherlands did the same thing. Randomly disbanded the government for a lie.
Turned out Rutte had a cushy job lined up as head of NATO. Which he officially got appointed for last week
He's expecting the far right to do a shit job at governing while he is still President and hopes this kills their popularity.
