Should French first lady be arrested?

The president of France is visiting the United States of America. Does he bring his wife? I have two questions: Does America extend diplomatic immunity to the French First Lady? Or do American authorities arrest her the first time she steps on U. S. soil? She is, or was, a school teacher who met Macron during class. He was 15 years old and she was forty. In America, school teachers showing “extracurricular activity” with a student loses their job and/or teaching certification, obtain mainstream media attend, receive prison time, community service, and/or probation time, if convicted, register on the sexual predator internet/website.

How should we define the appropriate action? She defines a new role for “cougars.” In America, she goes to jail; in France, they make her first lady.

President Macron should forego the elaborate dinners and political fanfare. Macron believes himself a modern-day Napoleon Bonaparte. The rioters see the happy couple as King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. We know they both lost their heads.

He faces revolution in the French streets. He is trying to force labor reform (24/7/52 working hours). French businesses demand labor law change or they will leave the country. Sounds familiar (same corporate lawyers as American companies). Average French workers receive 30 days vacation time, numerous sick days, child care and outside assistance to cope with the stress.

The older, conservative revolutionaries load spent tires and other debris into streets and highways, set fire to them, slowing traffic. The younger, liberal revolutionaries attack the French police with rocks, bricks, bottles, Molotov cocktails (weapon of chose for revolutions), and other anti-body armor and riot gear.
