Emmanuel Macron categorizes himself as Europe’s liberal answer to President Donald Trump — and now he wants to reshape the entire French political system to reflect his growing ego.
According to Macron’s administration, the French president — the youngest Frenchman to rule the country since Napoleon — sees himself ruling the country like the Roman mythological god Jupiter.
Yes, really.
Macron sees himself as a largely silent ruler whose proclamations will be unquestionable. According to Reuters, “Macron himself has said he plans a ‘Jupiterian’ presidency — as a remote, dignified figure, like the Roman god of gods, who weighs his rare pronouncements carefully.”
“It would be a marked break from his unpopular and often-mocked predecessor Francois Hollande’s man-of-the-people style,” Reuters reported, a globalist backlash against the political populist uprising in Europe following the 2015 mass migration crisis that reshaped the continent.
He doesn’t even want the French parliament to question his plans.

Fittingly, Macron gathered 925 lawmakers from both houses into a rare Congressional meeting at the “Sun King” Louis XIV’s palace in Versailles this week, where he threatened to overrule them if they attempted to frustrate his reforms.
“The French people are not driven by patient curiosity, but by an uncompromising demand. It is a profound transformation that they expect,” Macron recently told the specially convened session of parliament. “I want all these deep reforms that our institutions seriously need to be done within a year. These reforms will go to parliament but, if necessary, I will put them to voters in a referendum.”
The push by Macron to emulate the ‘god of gods’ ruling style is seen by political experts as an attempt to answer critics.
According to Breitbart, “It has been speculated that Macron is keen to cultivate an aloof, almost imperial aura after being derided as a placeman for the unpopular socialist Francois Hollande, in whose government he served as economy minister, or as a poodle for Angela Merkel, the German chancellor widely regarded as the European Union’s driving force.”
Marine Le Pen, Macron’s chief rival in the country’s recent presidential election, once famously said: “France will be led by a woman; either me, or Angela Merkel!”
