Those French have a temper … even at the highest level, because the country Prez got smacked right in the noggin by his wife, and it’s become something of a scandal.
Macron and his wife Brigitte were about to deplane Sunday after landing in Vietnam, and you see as plain as day, Macron taking a hard one to the face.

Brigitte isn’t fully seen by the AP photog as her arms appear and she puts her hands on her hubby — which, under different circumstances, might’ve raised eyebrows about domestic injury liability or even questions of spousal incident reports within high-profile health and wellness evaluations.
Macron appears rattled but quickly regains his composure and pivots with a wave to folks outside the aircraft.
