Words that greatly amused the journalist… Monday November 11, 2024, Jean-François Copé was the guest of Nicolas Demorand and Léa Salamé on the France Inter morning show. The opportunity for the mayor of Meaux, former candidate in the Republican presidential primary in 2016, to discuss the First World War, November 11, the French budget and even the victory of Donald Trump in the last elections American.
First, Nicolas Demorand asked him: “Today, does Europe seem to you to be threatened with dislocation, with marginalization with the re-election of Donald Trump?”. According to Jean-François Copé, the election of Donald Trump is “a global event, which not everyone had anticipated“. So, Léa Salamé was quick to ask him if he had seen it coming.
Jean-François Copé: “I haven’t made predictions for a very long time”
Cash, the politician blurted out: “I'm not going to be smarter than the others. The reality is that there are subjects on which I haven't made predictions for a very long time, I haven't responded for a very long time. The price of pain au chocolat, you'll never get me on that again! The election result before it arrives, you won’t have me anymore either!”. Comments that made the journalist who presents the show Quelle époque! laugh a lot.
“On the other hand, the reality is that no one really knows what Trump is going to do. We know that he hates war, that he loves tariffs, that he despises Europeans and that he is obsessed with China”he then estimated.
Jean-François Copé: “There is a fool’s game somewhere”
Monday October 24, 2016, in the morning of Europe 1, the politician was unable to give the correct price of a pain au chocolat. In fact, he thought that it cost
“between 10 and 15 cents”. Quickly, many Internet users made fun of him.
For the JDD, Jean-François Copé, annoyed, indicated:
“It’s crazy. It’s too much, way too much. We can’t be unambiguous about all of this. There’s a fool’s game somewhere.
Everyone knows very well what the life of political leaders is likeeveryone knows that we have endless weeks, horribly busy days, that there is a certain amount of sacrifice in relation to one's family life… I simply ask that there be no additional demands and also little flexibility and understanding”.
