Politics aside, manners maketh Macron, NOT!

Perhaps it was a tissue or paper napkin that had been used to mop up a spill of the water that's on the table. Macron always seems exceptionally clean, immaculately presented and well mannered to me.

It looks like a tissue.
Many many years ago I had a student job as a waitress, and one thing I hated was having to clear away a napkin/serviette that someone had blown their nose in.
I bet more than 50% of people use their napkin as a handkerchief and expect the waitress to dispose of it. (I wonder what our 'leaders' are like when it comes to hand washing after using the toilet?

I presumed his hankie would be a monogrammed silk one.

Well some people are not very good at disposing of their own rubbish and leave it for someone else to do. I wonder if Macron’s wife is chief tidy upper?
