First Lady

The Resume

    (April 13, 1953- )
    Born in Amiens, France
    Birth name is Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux
    First Lady of France (2017- )
    Married Emmanuel Macron in 2007
    Taught literature at the Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, a private school in Paris
    Became the subject of international media attention after being complimented by President Donald Trump for being 'in such good shape' shortly after his arrival in France (July 2017)

Why she might be annoying:

    She met her husband when he was 15 (she was his drama teacher).
    She started dating the teenaged Macron - despite being 24 years his senior and still married to the father of her three kids.
    She was allegedly warned by Macron's parents to stay away from their son until he was 18, but she continued seeing him anyway.
    She was so involved in her husband's Presidential run that at one point Macron even said, 'If I’m elected — no, sorry, when we are elected — she will be there, with a role, and a place.'
    Her inordinate influence over her husband led to a petition signed by over 280,000 French citizens to deny her the official title of 'First Lady' (as of 2019, she does not use the title).
    She took part in several bizarre 'power handshakes' between her husband and President Trump during diplomatic visits (one such handshake saw her randomly drag Melania into it by grabbing hold of the First Lady's wrist).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was the youngest of six children.
    She comes from a family of rich chocolatiers.
    She has a close working relationship with Louis Vuitton.
    Her style has been compared to that of Ethel Kennedy.
    She really has kept in great shape, so Trump wasn't necessarily wrong.
    Her daughter worked on her second husband's Presidential campaign (there's a new way to get your kid to warm up to stepdaddy!)
    Hers and Emmanuel's marriage really isn't so unusual when you look at those of their predecessors.
