French president Emmanuel Macron’s speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, has gone viral over him saying “for sure” in the most French way.On Tuesday, Jan. 20, Macron addressed politicians at the WEF in Davos, Switzerland, where he spoke about global economic imbalances, strengthening Europe’s economic competitiveness and promoting cooperation.But Macron made headlines with his iconic huge reflective aviator glasses, which outlets suggest could be due to a red eye, and for saying “for sure.”During his address, Macron delivered a line saying Europe can be “sometimes too slow, for sure, and needs to be reformed for sure, but which is predictable, loyal.”The phrase landed awkwardly enough in English to sound comically French “for shurr.”Clips of Macron saying “for sure” in his accent have since gone viral, with people remixing it into electro and jazz‑style tracks, TikTok edits and parody videos that racked up millions of views.The French Foreign ministry account and other politicians even leaned into the joke, replying to tweets with “for sure” or similar wordplay, amplifying the meme.Besides the meme, Macron also appeared to shade US president Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on European countries and annex Greenland, saying that countries prefer “respect to bullies.” (📹: @frenchfusemusic, @lifestyle_fafo, @perrinedeza, @taarazameenparr, @maffaello, jobshark.eu, @wef / YouTube, 📝: @cherryfahmyyyy)-#france #french #macron #forsure #meme
