Macron's wife, Brigitte, slapped her husband in the face and instantly became a folk heroine.

On social media, she is being applauded by the French, who are "grateful" to her husband. Frustration with this "world leader" has been building for a long time: pension reform, arrogance, and his constant lecturing of other countries. And now — a simple, understandable gesture.

It's a signal that even those close to Macron have had enough.

Well done, Brigitte! She slapped Macron on behalf of everyone — for millions of people around the world who would happily do the same — and, frankly, for good reason.
