« Keep cool… you know the rules… » avant un « so » frenchie accent qui tranche singulièrement avec son anglais habituel plus proche de Davos que de celui des docks de la Tamise ! Le Président Macron nous l’a joué mauvais remake de Jacques Chirac, lorsque ce dernier interpellait vivement les flics israéliens qui l’empêchaient de serrer les mains des Palestiniens de Jérusalem-Est en 1996.
