The Misunderstood Macron

The American press cannot comprehend Emmanuel Macron. At first he was hailed by the prestige press as the savior of the liberal world order, the one that Trump and Brexit threatened. Now, he is seen as an authoritarian who has moved to the far right in a vicious campaign that threatens the human rights of Muslims living in France.

Both images were wrong. But maybe there is a reason for the translation errors.
