Insane gamble that will pay off.
Call me a wide-eyed optimist but I think the chips will fall his way.

What went down on that flight? That's quite a choice to slap him just as the doors open and knowing all the cameras will pick it up
Came over here – for the first time ever – to post exactly this. Any theories? What the heck is going on?
Various comments on Reddit have cleverly pointed out that it doesn't look like this is the first time: his quick reaction, no lingering shock on his side, her stiffness. The way she refuses to take his arm and keeps her distance from him on the super narrow stairs.
That’s shocking! They’re trying to play it down but it looks like it’s an ongoing part of their relationship. I hope he has the courage to leave her now this has come out in the open!
Bloody hell! No one should put up with that.
There are always lots of wild conspiracy theories (like that tissue was silly and does give them ammo to say it's all nonsense) but I'm not buying this at all.

Emmanuel has since spoken out about the clip, saying that the pair were "joking around, as we do quite often". He drew attention to previous videos that had been misinterpreted, saying he had allegedly "shared a bag of c, tussled with the Turkish president, now that I'm having a domestic dispute with my wife. None of this is true. Everyone needs to calm down."
The Guardian reports a source saying of the incident that the French president "loves playing jokes like on his wife before official occasions, and she always responds like this. It wasn't even a slap."

Yeah right, Manu. That's why there was absolutely no laughter or smile to be seen and she visibly refused to approach him or accept his arm. I've been going back and forth since yesterday about whether we're all overreacting or if his public reaction is really rather strange, too.
I call damage control. And not even a particularly good one at that. I mean, how stupid do they think we are?
she’s been abusive towards him in varying ways since he was an actual teenager so i can’t see that this is the first time.
like you say, the way he almost immediately recovers himself sadly screams of a man who is used to this, their whole relationship is so messed up that i genuinely find it distressing to think about. she’s always been so controlling of him (and arguably groomed him) that it’s horrible to see that she’s physical with it too.
Imo nothing arguable about her grooming him. He was 15 and she was 39 when they met.
poor wording choice on my part, as she absolutely did. especially given that she then followed him to another location when his parents tried to separate them.
the woman is vile and has controlled his life since he was a teenager.
