I heard that "bread" referred to the heavy, coarse bread the peasants usually ate and "cake" referred to a lighter, more refined bread, not a confection.
She meant 'cake' as in the spillover dough and crap that cooked or 'caked' onto the stoves of the commoners. She meant let them eat crap. That is a better translation.
I’m still not so sure…I have a family member who is a Marie Antoinette fanatic. I will consult with her. I just don’t think she was guilty like her handlers were. But, who knows — I could be totally wrong.
My understanding is that she never said anything of the sort, and it was entirely fabricated by the press. They hated her, of course, for being young and naive, (nowadays they’d probably attack her as being “privileged” and “entitled”) and they loved stirring up anti-monarchist anger.
Good catch - being in the film business - this could easily be 1. Protection for the watch or, 2. It would be a continuous noise issue if he kept hitting the table with his arm/watch and the production crew signaled him to remove it, which you clearly see him hand it off camera near the end. He wasn’t trying to hide that fact, although he was trying to be discreet about it.
We can’t be right about this stuff all of the time. I do feel we tend to over analyze things to a point where it starts to skew the way we see things. Everyone believes all TV and movies are laden with comms or the DS is sending coded messages with every movie made... or that everyone in Hollywood loves little children... I can tell you this is not the case. Are some people, sure... are all who work in Hollywood into that stuff? no not at all. But that’s the case with any industry/profession.
The reason he did it doesn’t matter, it’s about the signal it sends, the image that is printed in people’s minds.
The image is that Macron is not part of the huge group of normal people that will be affected by his policies.
He’s part of an elite that can afford accessories worth more than two yearly salaries, while he talks about his policies that will put even more French people into poverty.
It’s very similar to last years speech from then Prince Charles, where he talked about rising living costs from a multi million pound throne clad in gold.
It's because the watch hit the table and either a, was distracting to him or the mics in the studio, or he didn't want to damage it and have it happen again. Who cares.
Notices his 80k watch is visible.
while talking he puts his hands under the table and takes it off.
Then hands it off to someone to his side, all off camera.
Surprised he had the foresight to take the watch off. Probably one of his handlers noted it and sent him a message.
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see his head in a basket in the near future.
It’s been said the head and consciousness remains for a few +/- seconds when beheaded...
Very creepy.
Should that happen, I wonder if Macron or his handler "wife" will have regrets or sincerely repent in that brief period of time.
Possible that zelinski was servicing him under the table and hit him up for payment
TOP KEK!
Nice custom flair, Fren! Thanks to the mods for that one!
The recent variations on the "shitpost" flair are getting right funny. As though "shitpost" wasn't already funny. I sense a catsfive influence.
What kind of ghey donkeyed fig newton downpoots this
Va te faire enculer petit enculé de merde
I dropped your comment in my trusty translator tool and it popped a warning, "Possibly inappropriate content"
u/#bahaha
kek..
it basically means,
get fucked you ass fucked little shit..
Bonjoooouuurr ya cheese eating surrender monkeys!!
In that case, the translator tool clearly didn't know the source was Macron, otherwise it would have said "Perfectly appropriate content"
Lol, this exchange makes me happy🐸
Moi aussi
Mine translated "Fuck you little motherfucker" 😂
Go f..k your little sh…t. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His days are numbered. Treason had a terrible price IF caught. Compare this to a Queens comment of letting the commoner eat cake....
There’s debate that she actually said “bread.” Who knows?! Anyway, he’s disgusting while I feel she was a naive innocent.

Love your post, and totally agree! I will share with my Marie Antoinette fanatic relative!
This is very plausible.
Scrolled down just to comment that exact thing lol
I agree. I've read that theory about that too. I guess it's not the message, but how the message is delivered.
Damn media! Horrid even back then!
Nobody will ever know because it all sounds french.
Cake was a euphemism for the burnt left overs in a pan after baking...
Right before he takes it off, you hear the watch hit the table. Maybe he tries to protect it?

"Let them wear Rolexes" - Macron
Lol… these “people”.
AH
The absolute gaul of the man!
wee wee!
He took it off
Let them eat cake!
Came here to make this exact comment.
That was pretty funny.
This. This will be the end of Macron. The French will not tolerate this.
Omg, you even heard it hit the table in the first 10 seconds!
Gutter trash.
Bad toupee.
Wait until he sees a protestor walking around with his watch on and there is nothing he can do about it.
