According to him, it was a "grenade between their legs". Basically he wanted to wreck shit because of his hubris, and he's doomed us all pretty much. Dude has a massive ego and can't handle the reality that he's deeply unpopular.

Macron is probably job hopping. Mark Rutte from the Netherlands did the same thing. Randomly disbanded the government for a lie.

Turned out Rutte had a cushy job lined up as head of NATO. Which he officially got appointed for last week
