There's a French "observer" to the Russian election who says

I think Macron and Zelensky take too much cocaine, and they should stop.

So, since the Zelensky angle has been covered before here, what's the basis for the claim that Macron takes cocaine?

Why would Macron humiliate himself, and France, to answer to Russian agitprop? Zelensky isn't in a situation where he can allow any doubts like that to get in the way of Ukraine aid - not at all the same circumstances.

Macron seems unloved enough already, without having to speculate about his personal life — Pete W, Commented Mar 16 at 1:00
FYI, decades ago, in a presidential debate: "Chirac: Mr. President, can you tell me today's exchange rate to the Deutschmark?". "Mitterand: Sir, I am the President of France. You are not my schoolmaster". By and large, IIRC French public opinion agreed that Chirac had overreached himself by trying to ambush bad-on-economics Mitterand - who likely had no clue - and that he had infringed on the dignity of the president's office. It would a major faux-pas for any head of state to stoop down to taking a drug test for such a ridiculous reason. — Italian Philosophers 4 Monica, Commented Mar 16 at 1:00

Propaganda, of course. The enemy is depicted as weak and morally degraded. This does not need to have any grounding and most often does not.

At least we seem to know why we're getting this anti-Macron prop right now from that corner. Macron apparently turned hardline anti-Putin recently bbc.com/news/world-europe-68575251
