After wasting his time on this thread, $330 / 67M citizens must seem extremely painless by comparison! :dohWell your tax dollars pay for it. I didn't know that the French had such vast budgetary surpluses that would allow for their President to spend $330 a day on makeup, and the citizens applaud.
The irony is a right winger complaining over Macron and his high makeup bill all because Macron defeated a Neo Nazi backed by Trump, and yet not a peep about Trumps 3 million+ weekly vacation bill.
See, we're richer than you thought.
I actually don't care about such a peripheral non-story. As others have pointed out, other political figures have spent more and this is hardly eye-shadow for a night out. I also don't care about his personal life: your sexist and ageist comments about his wife are par for the course. What interests me will be the bilan at the end of his mandate, not tabloid stories like this.
The point is that Macron has spent $30,000 on 1 frivolous category alone. How much will France end up spending after 5 years?
At the current rate, France will spend $600,000 on Macron's makeup in 5 years.

Maybe someone should tell him about Maybelline......:lamo
Jeez, questions dealing with actual specifics.Boring peripheral topic. France will not spend that much on his make-up.
You seem to know so much about France lamo), what about the real issues? What's your take on Macron's politics? And on Edouard Philippe? How do you explain a landslide victory from the centre in what looked like an ever polarized political scene? How do you explain the virtual disappearance of Marine Le Pen? What's your take on her relationship with Florian Philippot? How do explain the rise in popularity of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and how do you think this affects the NPA and LO, not to mention the traditional PCF and of course, the Parti Socialiste? Can the Republicans recover from Penelopegate?
I'm not holding my breath.
Probably due to the French believing that he'll do as he says where, in the case of "the loon" nobody believes he can or will (do as he said he would).Did I read that right? A 36% approval rating? So the slick media darling, Macron, is neck & neck with the despised "loon"? :lamo
