The second story is a cultural critique of Donald Trump.

À compter du 16 mai 2007, j'étais seul. Bien sûr, il y avait le peuple français, mais sa force collective ne s'exprime pas dans le quotidien des décisions à prendre, ou des nominations à effectuer. J'avais une équipe, des conseillers, des amis, des visiteurs du soir, mais j'étais seul à prendre et à assumer la décision finale. C'est le premier sentiment qui m'a envahi après avoir raccompagné Jacques Chirac à sa voiture et être remonté dans le bureau présidentiel qui était devenu le mien pour les cinq années à venir.
