Congratulations to the French people. It is very encouraging to see a Western democracy elect a leader who recognizes the complexity of governing. Rather than tweet insults at those who do not agree with him, as Donald Trump does, Emmanuel Macron recognizes his responsibility to lead his country, saying, “I know that this is not a blank check. I know about our disagreements. I will respect them.” We can only wish for a leader who cares as much for all his country’s citizens.
